Clear Aligner Excellence for Dentists and Their Teams, Part 1 (Dec 11 - 12, 2025)

Clear Aligner Excellence for Dentists and Their Teams, Part 1 is organized by CDOCS and will be held from Dec 11 - 12, 2025 at CDOCS, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States of America.

Description:
The course will also begin to introduce aligner therapy and the SureSmile® Aligner system to help the restorative dentist better understand how to best leverage aligner therapy in the restorative practice environment as well as when it is optimal to refer to an orthodontic specialist.

It is strongly recommended that our Orthodontics courses are taken in order and AT THE SAME TIME FOR CONTINUITY IN THOUGHT AND FLOW. This course is typically offered two days prior to our Clear Aligner Excellence for Dentists and Their Teams, Part 2 workshop, and this is why we encourage participants to attend the courses back-to-back as part of our Training to Treatment in 4 Days program.
