Technology and Aligner Therapy in the Dental and Orthodontic Practice
Presented by: Dr. Michael Feinberg and Dr. Tal Masserman

Wednesday, November 8, 2023
6:30PM-8:30PM

This course will focus on the practical application of technology in the delivery of orthodontic tooth movement and correction of malocclusions. We will review how technology can be integrated into routine orthodontic procedures, how to navigate Clincheck and Suresmile software, and how to properly select cases for aligner treatment. Simple and complex aligner and combination cases (braces and aligner) will be presented and discussed. We will also review how an in-house lab can be a practical addition to the dental / orthodontic office.

Learning Objectives:
Improve understanding of proper case selection for aligner therapy.
Achieve familiarity with Clincheck and Suresmile aligner software.
Achieve familiarity with in-house aligner design and fabrication.

He has dedicated himself to mastering digital treatments and workflow to maximize clinical efficiency, patient experience and outcome. He utilizes in-house and Invisalign aligner therapy daily in orthodontic practice . His claim to fame is having been the first orthodontist to have passed the ABO clinical exam utilizing cases all treated with robotically bent wires.

Dr. Tal Masserman received his DDS degree from the University of California Los Angeles School of Dentistry and his Certificate in Orthodontics from Montefiore Medical Center. Upon completion of his orthodontic residency program in New York, he joined the team of dentists at Affiliated Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Scottsdale, Arizona.
