Dr Tay interviews Dr Andrew Chang on aligners. A synopsis is below:

  • What are aligners
  • 3:00. What cases are suitable for aligners?
    • Patient Factors
    • Malocclusion factors ie: deep bite, absolute intrusion of incisors in adults.
  • 6:00: Difference between absolute and relative incisor intrusion and marked difference in effectiveness in aligners compared with braces.
  • 8:00: Extraction cases. High need for later partial braces to regain root control
  • 8:30: Attachments: Why attachments are more effective for moderately difficult cases.
  • 11:30: When to choose 1 aligner company over another. What software features to look out for?
  • 13:30: How do braces differ from aligners? Braces work better when needing to allow for PLAN B during Treatment ie: non extraction start. The aligner planning software allows better patient communication and planning of final outcomes, particularly useful in multidisciplinary cases.
  • 21:00: Which cases a dentist should start doing?
