Abstract
This lecture is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of a digital patient journey, employing a fully digital orthodontic workflow. The presentation will highlight how each stage—from initial engagement to patient retention—is driven by advanced digital tools. The journey begins with a high-resolution scan that captures data for diagnosis, which seamlessly integrates into a smile visualization tool. Following this, the session will cover digital treatment planning and in-face visualization, leading to treatment with Aligners.
Additionally, we will delve into the cutting-edge advancements in early interceptive orthodontics, with a focus on young patients and teens who require mandibular advancement, skeletal palatal expansion, and alignment. To showcase the tangible benefits of these innovations, we will present clinical cases that vividly demonstrate how these advancements contribute to patient growth and enhanced treatment outcomes. This session promises to be both enlightening and illustrative of the transformative power of digital orthodontic workflows.
