Dr. Niki Shah, Proligner's Principal Dental Educator, provides online and in-practise practical, focused clear aligner training, including the supervision of real cases. This course enables dentists to confidently treat simple and moderate difficulty patients with clear aligners. The syllabus is perfect for those who want a hands-on, personal approach to learning the use of clear aligners.

​​

The necessary skills required to get started with Proligner are all covered. The syllabus is composed of 5 sessions, including an in-practise session, covering essential theoretical knowledge. These sessions include end-to-end treatment theory and practical exercises in IPR, attachments, digital case workflow, placing bonded retention, and post alignment restorative techniques using Greater Curve.

​​

The in-practise practical session provides dentists an understanding of essential techniques and an ability to apply them while treatment a patient with clear aligners. Dentists will perform interproximal reduction with a range of tools, apply different types of attachments, and learn how they impact proposed movements, mid-treatment corrections, post-treatment retention protocols, and how to finish cases to provide patients the perfect smile.

​

In addition to these essential practical skills, you also have the option of receiving commercial guidance on how best to manage building a clinic providing clear aligners including cost effective marketing to build an online presence.

​

Delegates who successfully complete training will receive enhanced CPD certification.

​

This must-attend programme is for dentists keen to provide clear aligner treatment and take their dental practise to the next level. We look forward to seeing you!
