Help students learn how to effectively integrate aligner treatment into clinical practice! Atlas of Aligner Treatment and Planning: A Case-Based Approach offers a revolutionary, step-by-step, example-based approach to aligner treatment for orthodontics and general dentistry students. Featuring approximately 3,300 full-color clinical photographs, radiographs, and illustrations, this resource addresses the full scope of patient care — from diagnostics and treatment planning to virtual tool utilization and overcoming challenges — to prepare students for real-life scenarios in aligner orthodontics.
    • Comprehensive coverage presents case-based examples of potential challenges that may arise when selecting an aligner treatment option
    • Logical, atlas-style format addresses each phase of treatment, starting with the pretreatment workup, continuing through the treatment sequence, and ending with final results and follow-up observations
    • About 3,300 clinical photographs, radiographs, and illustrations support key concepts and demonstrate real-life examples of patient scenarios
    • International author team includes leading experts in the field of aligner orthodontics
    • Enhanced ebook version, included with every new print purchase, features e-only content, plus access to all the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud
