• Your chosen patient must have an OPG and lateral ceph (preferably in a digital format).
• You need to bring a dental assistant along to Clinical 2 (Invisalign Principles Course only).

 C
   lass II or III molar relationship cases where the posterior occlusion is to be maintained and only anterior
  aesthetics improved.

 Limited vertical changes - anterior intrusion or extrusion 2mm or less. No posterior intrusion or extrusion.
 Caries free, periodontally and periapically sound.

offering you the best service and guidance.

We offer different treatment review options*: -

                                                                                                                  Invisalign Course 2018
1) Initial Patient Assessment – Free service offered to review photos and/or radiographs to assess which
    movements are likely to be limited and advise case options and likely timeframes.
2) Case Review Service – Review Invisalign ClinCheck plans and assist you to maximise predictable
    movements and advise about alternative options where applicable.

The clinician takes full responsibility for all treatment decisions.

                                                                                                                  Page 6
If you find that your patient is not tracking as expected we can also help guide you to revise the plan, to
make sure you achieve the best possible aesthetic and functional result.

The above treatment plan review services are included with every case ordered through SCD.

Align Technology Services (via Invisalign Australia)

If you have completed the Invisalign Training Course, you will submit your treatment directly to Align
Technology and will be responsible for your treatment plan and review of the ClinCheck 3D models.

At the completion of the course, your Invisalign Practice Development Manager (PDM) will provide in-house
training for the relevant staff members.

This training will include photograph and PVS impression taking, submission process instructions, a basic
overview of the ClinCheck software and practice marketing with online modules. This support is designed to
improve the ClinCheck software experience and to assist dentists in the review process for their ClinCheck
treatment plans.

We are all committed to providing you with the ongoing support you need to treat your
patients with confidence and helping you grow your Invisalign practice.
