Lecture Description
Have you ever thought that doing in-office aligners is too much of a hassle or too expensive to justify? Current technology provides today's orthodontist everything they need to get started at historically low costs and manage their own aligner production facility with their own brand that represents and builds their own reputation instead of an outside lab¡¯s brand. Modern software allows us to maintain quality, while considerably reducing the expense of outsourcing labwork and delaying treatment starts or refinements. This presentation will introduce the major steps of the Digital Workflow utilizing In-Office Aligner Fabrication as the example. We will also cover the basics of setting up a digital lab as well as 3D printing. While many see the future of orthodontics as doomed by market disruption, it is actually an exciting time to reinvent ourselves and create even better experiences and outcomes for our patients.
