Title: Aligners and sliders: the secrets of predictibility

Abstract

Sliders and aligners represent an innovative use of the clinician’s tools and not a reflection of the aligner’s ineffectiveness. As the patients demand for clear aligners continues to grow, orthodontists will be increasingly dependent on hybrid treatments to provide to their patiences the best possible results. A treatment objective of pure bodily tooth movement with aligner therapy exclusively can prove challenging to achieve with a high degree of predictability, especially when molars are to be moved bodily. And speaking of challenges…who hasn’t faced the dilemma of creating a predictable set up for the hybrid aligners treatment?What are the efficient comments for the technician in order to obtain the proper integration of the sliders in the comprehensive aligners treatment? Will cover all these topics showing various cases from basic ones to the interdisciplinary ones!
