Topic: Align Teeth in the Software
This interactive session is conducted live online and led by one of our experienced clinical educators. You’ll learn how to manipulate aligner software using advanced 3D controls to design treatment plans and align teeth with precision.

You’ll cover each step of setting up an aligner case, with guidance on achieving ideal tooth positions and reducing reliance on third-party CAD designers. This session helps you build the skills to:

It’s a dedicated time to address your clinical or technical uncertainties, get feedback, and ensure you feel fully supported as you begin applying what you've learned.
