What participants are saying

"I wish I knew more about elastics earlier as a relative newcomer to clear aligners. Using them would have saved me and my patients a considerable amount of treatment time. I feel more confident in incorporating them into clear aligner treatment after this program."

— Dr. Peter Pessinis, North Vancouver, BC

"This MOCA 201 course is extremely useful for my Invisalign® practice. If you are interested in doing more complex cases with Invisalign®, this is the course for you! I learned great tricks and techniques that will allow my cases to be done faster, and with more predictability. This course is very well done and the speaker is funny, which greatly helps!!"

— Dr. Marie-Claude Lepage, Ottawa, Canada

- Dr. Nikhilesh C Roy

“M.O.C.A. 101 is a great venue to start at when it comes to clear aligners… I feel much more comfortable.”

- Dr. Pat Martino

U of Toronto

“Excellent comprehensive course that got me from doing 0 clear aligners to maybe 1 case or 2 a month. Great principles, mechanics, and software tuition. Breaks it down into comprehensible topics, wish I would have had it in dental school.”

- Dr. Greg Cantwell, Dentist

Ontario

I came to C.L.E.A.R Institute because I was dissatisfied with one of my providers’ clinical online education. I think that Dr. Reinhardt is an engaging speaker, obviously knowledgeable on the subject and his presentations are well organized and easy to follow. I would highly recommend to any doctor who is looking to gain more knowledge on clear aligners to visit the C.L.E.A.R. Institute.

Dr. Matt Thunberg

California

I have been using Clear aligners in my practice for sometime now. The MOCA 101 and 201 programs are great refresher classes for me and my staff to upgrade our competence. My staff is enjoying following along the class material with me. Stephane has a great fun way of presenting the material that keeps me interested and alert throughout these self pace learning modules. I highly recommend the programs!
