About This Webinar
This webinar focuses on special considerations for clinical management and LightPlans for adolescent patients, addressing common growth-related challenges such as deep bite, Class II, open bite tendency, and mixed dentition cases. Through case-based examples, participants will learn best practices for initial bonding, how to integrate fixed and functional appliances, apply vertical and torque control strategies, and plan proactively within the LightForce digital system to improve efficiency, predictability, and smile arc development throughout growth.
Agenda
  • Optimize LightPlans and second scans for erupting teeth in adolescent patients.
  • Apply torque expression, overcorrections, and vertical control strategies using turbos, elastics, and bracket plane management to guide predictable outcomes in growing patients.
  • Efficient methods of integrating fixed and functional appliances into your LightForce cases to support sagittal and transverse correction.
  • Implement best practices for mixed dentition management, while maintaining smile arc development through occlusal plane and torque planning.
