Abstract
Practical Solutions for the Treatment of Lower Incisor Crowding
Relapse of lower incisor crowding remains one of the most frequent and frustrating challenges faced by orthodontists in daily clinical practice, often compromising aesthetics, function, and patient satisfaction. This intensive 5-hour hands-on course offers a comprehensive and practical approach to managing and correcting this condition with predictable outcomes using in-house aligners. Participants will be guided through every step of the process with an emphasis on the technical stages of aligner production—from intraoral scanning, digital setup, and model preparation to thermoforming, trimming, finishing, and final delivery—ensuring they acquire the confidence and skills required to perform each phase accurately. The program will highlight materials, equipment, and quality-control tips to optimize efficiency and precision. Attendees will also learn strategies to design, fabricate, and deliver custom aligners within their own clinical setting, streamlining production while reducing costs and increasing treatment reliability. By the end of the course, participants will be able to implement in-house aligner protocols to efficiently resolve lower incisor crowding, address relapse cases with predictable results, and enhance long-term stability for their patients.
