Welcome to our latest edition of “In Case You Missed It,” where we recap our informative webinar sessions. Recently, Dr. Montse Galiano, a renowned international speaker and clinical advisor for the Invisalign system, delivered an engaging presentation on orthodontic aligner therapy and its crucial role in minimally invasive dentistry. This session was not only insightful but also packed with practical tips for dental professionals aiming to enhance their practice with cosmetic dentistry aligned with orthodontic treatments.
Overview of the Session
Orthodontic aligner therapy has revolutionized the approach to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Dr. Galiano emphasized the transformative impact aligners can have on patient outcomes and how they enable a minimally invasive approach to dentistry. By aligning teeth using a system like Invisalign, practitioners can create a foundation for successful and less invasive restorative treatments.
Highlight 1: Combining Techniques for Optimal Results
Dr. Galiano demonstrated how combining orthodontic aligners with restorative techniques, such as composite bonding, can lead to “win-win” results for both the practitioner and the patient. As she stated, “For me, treating our patients with clear aligners and restorative treatment at the end is a win-win because we align the teeth, and after that, when we have the teeth in the perfect place, we can proceed with composite bonding or other treatments.”
Highlight 2: Case Studies Highlighting Real Transformation
During the session, Dr. Galiano showcased several before and after case studies, illustrating the dramatic improvements in dental aesthetics and patient satisfaction. She explained, “We are transforming smiles and changing lives. You have seen all of these patients, but the smile at the end seems like it’s another person, right?” Her commitment to patient-centered outcomes was evident throughout the presentation.
Highlight 3: Recommended Products to Enhance Practice
Dr. Galiano highlighted several products she recommends to enhance the orthodontic aligner workflow, including the AlignerFlow LC product. This nano-hybrid composite is especially designed for attachments, which are crucial for successful aligner therapy. "This composite is amazing... when we use the UV light, we can see all the attachments and any excess composite around them, making the process efficient and precise," shared Dr. Galiano. Such products are instrumental in achieving the high-quality results showcased in her case studies.
