Preventive and Interceptive orthodontics: when to use clear aligners

Details about this course

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.

What participants are saying

"This course was awesome. It covered a lot of basics we all know but gave a lot of basic indicators we can all look for to help predict what kind of occlusion will develop regardless of whether we choose to treat children or not. The course gives tools to help reduce the severity of a malocclusion before referring to an orthodontist and at the very least give timely advice and make a timely referral. A very thoughtful and comprehensive and entertaining program indeed. Bravo Dr Reinhardt!"

— Dr. Panayiotis Pessinis, Vancouver

"I learned many things from this course. Thanks for the detailed explanations, tips and jokes that help us remember the material."

— Dr. Farid Georges, Montréal

"Bravo et merci Stephane pour des cours enrichissants et facile d'accès. Ton dévouement pour l'apprentissage se ressent et en est contagieux."

— Dr. Michael Tordjman, Montréal

"MOCA 201 is a must take course. It is real orthodontic training with pearls hidden in plain sight. At present 50% of my time at work involves the use of clear aligners for orthodontics and I continue to improve because Stephane shares his success, failures, and insights after many years of practice. Kids love wearing clear aligners and are extremely cooperative. The summary in the 13-minute conclusion is brilliant. I can't wait for MOCA 301. I am very grateful to be a student at The CLEAR Institute!"

— Dr. Raphael Santore, DDS, New York
