Description
How does a doctor and their team prepare to transition from traditional clear aligner laboratories to in-office aligner manufacturing? This exciting fundamental course covers the basics to the advanced and how the author built her clinical workflows around digital technology and the ability to produce clear aligners in the office.
Come learn digital clear aligners step-by-step with a hands on workshop with Dr. Melissa Shotell, nationally known “the Alignerbee”. Dr. Shotell has been practicing digital orthodontics for years and personally has over 16 3D printers and 4 intraoral scanners at her private practice in California. She is also a Clinical Instructor at UNLV School of Dental Medicine and is the Chief Clinical Officer at Plus Orthodontics.
Participants will begin the educational journey with an online introduction prior to attending the full-day hands-on workshop focused on using digital technology for in-office clear aligners. Participants will actively participate in the design of clear aligners and the use of 3D printers.
Dr. Shotell will be presenting in-person on March 1, 2024 at the SprintRay Headquarters in Los Angeles from 8am-5pm.
