Gurs Sehmi – Getting Started With Orthodontic Aligners

Sale page

Do you want to do more cosmetic dental treatment – but your diary is full of check ups and fillings?

Let me tell you how I got started and actually built a practice based on cosmetic dentistry. I started to do what all patients wanted – clear aligners!

Well, patients don’t want the aligners, they want a great smile, with minimal fuss, and at a reasonable price point – and sub £5,000 is a good price point. sub £3,000 is better!

And you know what, with a course of aligners, you can align an arch, do whitening and high quality edge bonding – usually within that treatment fee.

Another great thing about this treatment is that it doesn’t take much chair time. All you need is a reliable lab, that has a simple and proven protocol to help you choose the right cases, keep you out of trouble, and give your great fitting aligners.

Over the last few years, I have been working with QST, teaching on some of their live courses, helping on the online forum, while treating a whole load of patients with fixed and removable orthodontics. I would say I have quite a bit of experiance in cosmetic orthodontics with adults – and here is what I have found.

About 50% of the cases I treat, can be treated to the same end result with either fixed or removable braces. So why would I bother with fixed? Its more chair time, and I already have a jam packed diary!

About 30% of the remaining cases can be treated very well with aligners – maybe not as perfectly as with fixed, but still to a level that the patient is happy with.

That leaves about 20% of cases, that I would only leave for fixed ortho. And these include the extraction cases.

A lot of the success with aligners is to do with the manufacture of the aligners, and not all labs do it to the same level. In fact, most labs don’t understand how teeth move.

Is it tipping? is it torque? is it bodily movement?

This is why I sat down with the guys who make the QST aligners, and showed them the exact movements I was expecting, and how they could replicate these movements with aligners, leading to more efficient and predictible tracking with the aligners.

They can only do this if they get perfect impressions from you, and you choose a suitable case to align.

The good news is that there is a simple process that will almost ensure that you get great results every time.

I have put together a mini course that will explain every aspect to you.

You will learn how to take excellent full arch impressions, with no drags

How to judge where to get space from in order to align the teeth

How to balance arch expansion with IPR

What are the best cases for IPR are

When the best time for IPR is (clue – not when there is crowding!)

How we have developed a simple system to double check the quality of the impression – ultimately saving you time.

This is a beta course, and you are getting it completely free.

There is one catch though – you need to name your first born child after me.

No, just kidding – just tell me what you think. Seriously.

This course assumes a little orthodontic knowledge, but not much. What have I not covered that you need to know in order to get started with orthodontics and clear aligners?

Watch the lessons, ask questions and drop me an email with some feedback.
