Align Digital Workflow- an Orthodontist experience
TBD
Dr. Abdelhakim El Gheriani
Overview
Technological advances have improved every aspect of our clinical practice. The main part of the presentation will discuss the traditional orthodontic patient workflow and introduce the latest tools available to optimize patient engagement, planning strategies and ultimately enhancing treatment outcomes. Participants will have hands on experience to try the tools and see examples of how they are being utilized in daily practice. Furthermore, strategies for digitizing your current patient workflow will be reviewed.
I would change the word “ will have hands on experience “ to “ will get a chance to experience first hand” in case we don’t get the iTero and we need to make do without one 😊
