Clear Idea #3

16 www.acasociety.com | info@acasociety.com A ligner Therapy has become the fastest growing industry in dentistry with growth in Australia estimated to reach $302 million by 2025. It isn’t until dentists treat their first few Aligner patients, that it becomes apparent the digital setup is indeed time consuming and far more complex than first thought. It is in fact a myth, that the initial digital setups are accurate and at a point ready for final approval. If the setup is not properly planned from the start, there can be detrimental effects on the tracking, increasing patient appointments and ultimately smaller, if any profit margins and dissatisfied patients. In the past, dentists taking on aligner cases had little support and instead were relying on their own education, skills and experience to plan, set up and track cases single – handedly and in doing so spent too much of their time on each case with the set up and another 3 hours revisiting cases that were tracking poorly. For a dentist billing at $500 per hour, that’s at least $2,000 worth of lost time per case.  For this reason, a growing number of dentists are seeking help from treatment planning organisations that are qualified to offer full support and hands – on assistance, providing more effective, productive and predictable aligner planning giving better clinical outcomes. One such organisation, Clear Aligner Planning Service (C.A.P.S) delivered by the OrthoED Institute provides dentists with hands-on support to take on a variety of aligner cases and “done-for-you” changes during the set up and treatment planning. C.A.P.S. gives dentists the opportunity to treat not only the simple aligner cases, but also the more difficult cases due to the digital setup being planned and completed by very experienced specialist orthodontists. Once the setup has been properly planned, the final clinical treatment result will be the same whether the patient is treated by a general dentist or an accomplished specialist orthodontist. C.A.P.S provides support for all aligner cases, along with free planning and support for Invisalign** and Angelalign**, and small fees for planning SmileStyler, Angelalign and SureSmile cases. The founder of C.A.P.S, Dr Geoff Hall, is an orthodontist with 30 years clinical experience having treated over 10,000 cases.  “We’re seeing a 10% refinement rate for aligner cases, which is practically unheard of in this industry. It’s all about setting up the case properly.” he adds.  To find out more about the Clear Aligner Planning Service (C.A.P.S), visit https://orthotraining.com.au/caps/ today or call 1300 073 427 for more information ** Conditions apply Save Up to $2000 and 4 Hours of Clinical Time on your Next Clear Aligner Case Invisalign Virtual Appointment.
