- Dr. Pat Martino

“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

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.

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!

Course Overview
Can we treat kids in mixed dentition with clear aligners? That question is often asked. Will they wear the aligners? The answers: Yes and yes! Young patients have worn appliances for decades—often much more challenging ones than aligners (twin blocks, Haas, split plates, quad helix, headgear, etc.).
Teeth are not selective: whether primary or permanent, as long as you apply constant force and they are not blocked or ankylosed, they will move. With kids, we want to prevent problems, keep or regain space, and minimize future complexity. This course goes beyond mixed dentition mechanics and explores preventive and interceptive strategies in depth.
Preventive and interceptive orthodontics is often misunderstood. While intercepting a problem may reduce severity, it rarely eliminates the need for later treatment. Our role as primary care providers is to recognize problems early, understand their consequences, and guide parents and patients appropriately.

THE CLEAR INSTITUTE was born from the need expressed by dentists to have access to quality education and personalized follow-up in connection to everything related to clear aligners. Dr Stéphane Reinhardt, director of the education program for THE CLEAR INSTITUTE explains:
"Seeing that clear aligners aroused an increasing interest among dentists, an elaborate "in person" course program was developed and delivered to the dentists and their teams, so that they could integrate clear aligners efficiently and successfully in their day to day practice".
THE CLEAR INSTITUTE has accompanied thousands of dentists in Canada and the United States in their understanding of clear aligners, bringing them confidence that clinical success and financial success are possible aligners in a serious, efficient and successful manner. They have confidence and now understand, thanks to THE CLEAR INSTITUTE, that clinical and financial successes are possible with transparent aligners.
The year 2021 marks an important stage in the development of THE CLEAR INSTITUTE with the launch of an e-learning platform to facilitate access to its courses and expertise to as many dentists as possible.
As mentioned by Dr. Reinhardt, "See it to believe it. Learn it to understand it. Use it to master it! There has never been a better time to MAKE THE MOVE !
