In addition to the topics covered (see above), you also receive:

• Review of interproximal reduction and bonding attachments
• 3 CE/eCPD credits
• Provider guide with resources and marketing tips
• Free practice listing on our patient website
• Ongoing, free clinical support (includes case selection, midtreatment, and finishing)

• The knowledge and confidence needed to treat your patients with 6MS Invisible Aligners!

After attending either course you will be able to start treating your patients with 6MS Invisible Aligners. One of the main differences between the two courses is the 1-day Aligner Live Course includes hands-on exercises (IPR & bonding attachments), while the Aligner Essentials e-course only demonstrates how to do these techniques. In addition, the 1-day Aligner Live Course includes more advanced techniques on aligner therapy and includes live case reviews. The Aligner Essentials e-course is a great option to get started with aligners.

The 6MS Aligner  Essentials e-course is more than just a course that teaches you how to treat patients with Aligners. It's a gateway to greater things: 

• Joining a community of thousands of GP's like you, who are interested in providing the best care for their patients.
• Expanded opportunities to learn more about short-term orthodontics via the free webinars and resources available upon training.
• For current Six Month Smiles Providers: Ability to seamlessly transition into offering clear braces or mixed appliances (invisible aligners on the top arch, clear braces on the bottom arch).
• Use of the Six Month Smiles Online Forum with thousands of case reviews and free clinical support. 

Our Aligners are ideal for patients with mild to moderate crowding (7-10 mm) and spaced cases (5-7 mm). We cannot actively address open/deep bites but some improvement will occur due to relative intrusion/ extrusion. Similarly, crossbites (anterior only) may only be corrected if the roots are favorably positioned.

This product includes a maximum of 20 active Aligners/arch + 2 refinements. If an Aligner outcome is possible, we will show you a 360º simulation and, if necessary, recommend Clear Braces and Mixed Appliance options (Braces on one arch, or Braces on both arches).

Yes, after completing this course you will be able to start treating your patients with 6MS Invisible Aligners and Relapse Aligners. If you are interested in treating your patients with our Clear Braces or Mixed Appliances (Invisible Aligners on the top arch and Clear Braces on the lower arch) you would need to complete our 2-Day Level 1 Seminar.

Six Month Smiles provides faster treatment times (average of 6-10 months), with either Aligners or Braces, depending upon case complexity. We will demonstrate how much movement is achieved with Aligners, enabling patients and dentists to make informed decisions on selecting Aligners or Braces. Our ability to move teeth fast is enhanced by our digital analysis expertise and the selection of the right appliance for each case.

We offer realistic treatment plans that will result in fewer refinements for each case. Our treatment plans are developed by orthodontists, not machines or technicians. If Aligner treatment isn’t the best solution for your patient, our CONFIDEX™ treatment planners will advise you of Clear Braces and mixed appliance options.

We accept the following types of scans:

• North America & Europe: Trios (3Shape). This portal is called “3Shape Communicate".
• North America: CEREC (Sirona). This portal is called “Sirona Connect”.
• North America: iTero (Align). This portal is called “MyAlignTech”.
• Open source STL files and impressions can also be submitted.

If you have attended a Level 1 Hands-On Course at any time in the past, you are already qualified to submit aligners with Six Month Smiles.  However, before switching to Six Month Smiles aligners, you should be comfortable with the scope of our aligner system and know all the features that make our aligner products unique.  We highly recommend that you take this course and, as an additional benefit, your ability to diagnose cases and troubleshoot problems will also improve.
