DSD Aligners November 2023

This course isn’t just for orthodontists, but any dentist who wants to improve their know-how with aligners.

We’ll take you through the process step by step: from diagnostics and planning, to creating better treatment plans, to becoming more predictable and accurate with improved outcomes.

You’ll also learn the proven protocols that our ortho team at the DSD Planning Center validates with clients from all over the world.

We believe there’s no other course out there that makes this information available to general dentists who want to work with aligners.

As an experienced orthodontist, this course will help you build on your strong foundation and take your ortho to the next level for patients through even more comprehensive know-how.

You’ll fine-tune systems to better incorporate orthodontic treatment with your team or receive more referrals from an interdisciplinary team.

You know there’s not only one way to treat patients – and this course will teach you the proven protocols used by the DSD ortho team which has performed over 2000 cases over the last two years. You’ll learn new solutions when it comes to diagnostics and how to improve planning by understanding the basics of smile design.

The DSD Planning Center is the first and still the only comprehensive digital planning service in the world. The service is extremely effective in helping doctors make better planning decisions for their patients. To ensure the quality of the service offered, the DSD Planning Center is run by a high-end team of dentists, specialists, CAD designers and engineers. Due to its complexity and the level of people involved, the DSD Planning Center services are not open to all doctors, but just to the ones that are certified DSD Clinics or in the DSD Mastership program. A certain level of skill is required by doctors in order to make the most of the access to the suite of products.

To become a DSD Planning Center user, you first of all need the basic DSD training that you will receive in the Residency 1 courses (in-person or livestream). After the basic knowledge training, to be able to use the DSD Planning Center you will need to sign up for the DSD Mastership or DSD Clinic certification.
