Week 1 CE Quiz- Proper treatment planning and case submission Copy

Showing a potential patient an accurate picture/representation of attachments at the initial exam, including a thorough review of compliance for successful outcomes with clear aligners, is not recommended as this may deter the patient from choosing this modality for their orthodontic therapy.

Patients in clear aligner therapy need to be seen on an increased frequency versus patients in fixed appliances, as it is more necessary to measure their compliance with care.

Transbond from 3M Unitek, being a heavily filled composite is on the list of recommended composites for attachments with clear aligners.

Spraying a food grade silicone in attachment templates prior to loading the composite makes it easier to remove the template after curing.

Attachment templates must be filled when a patient is sitting in the chair for their appointment.

A self-etchant primer is advantageous to use due to its expediency and lack of necessary rinsing and drying.

Only a filled composite material used for attachments will fluoresce under a black light flash light.
