Aligner Planning and Mechanics | Orthodontics In Interview | WADDAH SABOUNI
“If you anticipate, we can reduce the treatment time with aligners.”
“I never look at the simulation as the final outcome. For me, the simulation is only how the forces should be orientated to the teeth.”
“Fixed braces are more efficient to treat extraction cases. Not because we cannot do it with aligners, but because aligners need more auxiliaries and more work to achieve the same quality of movement.”
“10 years ago when we talked about aligners, everyone was looking at us like we are doing only small alignment. Today we are able to see very advanced complicated cases.”
I’m joined by Wadah Sabouni, for a focused exploration of clear aligner therapy and the evolving boundaries of aligners. We examine how science has informed the limits of tooth movement, why overengineering and auxiliaries are complementary rather than opposing strategies, and what a study revealed about the surprising differences between digital setup software platforms.
We turned to the biomechanics of extraction cases with Ying Yang mechanics as well as Waddah’s use of short class 2 elastics for distalisation mechanics. If mandibular advancement with aligners are fad or innovation. We close with reflections on a decade of the European Aligners Society, and where the field must go to bring aligner orthodontics to its potential.
The podcast was recorded live at this years European Aligner Society meeting.
