Using three simple rules for occlusal stability, participants will learn to simplify diagnosis, improve biomechanics, and treat a broader range of cases with greater ease and predictability. With these principles, clear aligners become a powerful tool not only for alignment, but for supporting functional and restorative outcomes. Attendees will learn how tooth movement can be coordinated with restorative care to simplify treatment, preserve tooth structure, and create functional, esthetic, long-lasting results.


Through structured digital workflows and real-world case examples, the course will outline a step-by-step approach from initial records through treatment execution and retention. The emphasis is on clarity and implementation, giving attendees a repeatable system that can be applied immediately in practice.

After this course attendees will be able to:

  • Apply three simple rules for occlusal stability to simplify diagnosis, improve biomechanics, and increase clear aligner predictability
  • Recognize occlusal-muscular, TMJ, and airway factors and understand when and how tooth movement may contribute to their management
  • Identify clinical warning signs before treatment begins and determine when additional planning is appropriate before the patient’s problems become your problems
  • Coordinate tooth movement with functional, restorative, and esthetic goals to expand treatment possibilities
  • Use digital planning to improve visualization, communication, and clinical control
  • Follow a repeatable workflow from initial records through treatment execution, refinement, and retention
