We know you have patients who are interested in using clear aligners! There has been an explosion of clear aligner use, with companies like Invisalign seeing a 35% increase within just the past two years. This trend is expected to continue as more adults invest in orthodontics for themselves and demand less-noticeable methods of straightening teeth than the traditional wire and brackets. Incorporating aligners into your general practice not only benefits the practice financially but also provides a much-desired and essential patient service. Gordon and Jay share the best, most-trusted aligner brands and equipment, as well as how to easily incorporate clear aligner therapy into your busy general practice, discussing case selection and the limitations of aligner use. Techniques and tips are given to help ensure your success. Easily offer safe and successful orthodontic services to your patients who wish to achieve a beautiful and healthy smile!
