The Science of Movement:
Clear Aligner Biomechanics Explained

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course explores the critical role of interproximal reduction (IPR) and dives into aligner biomechanics, including force systems, synergism and antagonism. Clinicians will gain valuable insights into strategic treatment planning and learn how to harness the biomechanics behind aligners to optimize outcomes and move teeth more effectively.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course, attendees should be able to:
■ Confidently assess when and why to use IPR to enhance occlusion and improve treatment efficiency
■ Apply concepts of synergism and antagonism to predict and manage complex tooth interactions during aligner therapy
■ Interpret and manipulate aligner biomechanics to design more precise, effective and patient-specific treatment plans
■ Leverage an in-depth understanding of force systems to control tooth movement and reduce unwanted side effects
