WEEK 15-16 CE Quiz – Finishing and retention considerations when treating with aligners (Forum 12) Copy

To best mimic settling wires and mechanics into aligners:

Settling best practices include:

When placing pontics on the exterior of aligners, a cement that has a modulus of elasticity when fully cured must be used.

The advantage of placing the pontic on the exterior is that you maximize the surface area of plastic enveloping the teeth adjacent to the extraction site.

The Types of 3D Resin Printing technology are:

Which one of the following is NOT a step in Aligner design and fabrication?

All cases treatable with aligners can be successfully managed with In-House Aligners.

The presence of the aligner posteriorly is the number one cause of posterior open bite.

In refinement, the ideal method of closing a posterior open bite when there is an anterior interference is to allow the technician to extrude all posterior teeth to close the bite.

Class III elastics are one solution towards address posterior open bite if the mandible drops into a more Class II position during treatment.

Articulation markings on the occlusal of photographs during refinement submission are not recommended as knowing what interferences are present is not important to consider when submitting initial instructions to the technician on how to address a posterior open bite, when present.
