Children come into general practice every day with crowding, constricted arches, posterior crossbites and compromised airways. Intervening during active growth lets the clinician guide craniofacial development instead of correcting its consequences later. This introductory webinar is the first phase of the Unlocking Potential program. It is designed for general dentists who want to add evidence-informed, growth-focused orthodontic care for their pediatric and adolescent patients.
We begin with the clinical rationale. Participants will review why early intervention matters and how maxillary arch development affects facial growth, airway function and long-term stability. We will also look at how treating at the right developmental stage can reduce the complexity and duration of later treatment, and sometimes remove the need for it.
For clinicians already treating adults with Invisalign, adding Invisalign First is a natural next step that builds on aligner workflows they already know. The session will present treatment protocols and best practices for mixed-dentition patients. It will also explain how to integrate aligner therapy with skeletal maxillary expansion using the Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE) or a Hyrax appliance. Combining these approaches supports the best functional and aesthetic outcomes for young patients and helps them unlock their true potential!
Course Objectives
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Explain the clinical rationale for early orthodontic and expansion treatment
Spot children and teens who are good candidates for aligners and skeletal expansion
Understand the core protocols for Invisalign First, IPE and Hyrax
See how these treatments can grow your practice and serve your families better
This presentation goes beyond basic GLR ClinCheck setup, both with initial treatment plans and additional aligners. See some of the modifications that Dr. Ranta, the ClinCheck Cowgirl, uses most frequently. You will also be shown ClinCheck features to move molars or finish stubborn movements effectively.
Course Objectives
Identify opportunities to enhance your ClinCheck design.
Apply the biomechanics of aligners and how the ClinCheck translates to reality.
Learn strategies to get efficient results.

From Consultation to Commitment: Mastering Case Acceptance for Clear Aligner Treatment
You’ve done the clinical work. You’ve presented the treatment. The patient is interested… so why do so many cases still walk out the door? Case acceptance often breaks down in two critical moments: when the value of treatment hasn’t been clearly established, and when it’s time to actually ask for the patient’s commitment. In this engaging one-hour webinar, discover how to confidently guide patients from “I’m interested” to “Let’s get started.” We’ll explore the most common case-acceptance challenges faced by dentists and dental teams
