Week 4 CE Quiz – Thorough review of the Clincheck Pro software Copy

A ClinCheck can be approved once the doctor:

What you see is what you get…over-treatment of certain movements within the virtual treatment plan are not necessary.

The tooth movement assessment tool is useful to help the practitioner evaluate which teeth are experiencing challenging movements in ClinCheck.

Anchorage for leveling of a Curve of Spee is a top priority for attachment placement in the software.

A thorough evaluate of the occlusal view to assess the initial buccal-lingual inclination of posterior teeth over basal bone is not important since clear aligners can very effectively expand with buccal root torque.

Since scanners capture the bite so effectively, it is not necessary to check your bite against your initial photos for accuracy.

It’s a good idea to place an attachment on a tooth which has a precision cut for elastics, as the vertical component of the force from the elastic may have a tendency to displace the aligner off of the teeth.

In anterior open bite cases, finishing with a virtual posterior open bite maybe recommended, even though clinically doctors are trying to avoid this outcome.

The posterior teeth which are intruding on a virtual treatment plan need attachments to facilitate the movement, not the teeth adjacent to them.

If the teeth being intruded have buccal root torque, and attachment will be needed to create the proper force systems for torque.

One way to reset a tooth movement ClinCheck is to click “make unmovable”, and then to click “make moveable” again, so reset the tooth to its initial position.

Adding attachments to the lower 2s and 3s can further facilitate leveling of the upper or lower Curve of Spee if the incisors need more intrusion than the canines, and since this increases the stiffness of the plastic in this area.

When you “lock” a tooth’s position in the ClinCheck software, this allows you to make changes around that tooth without any anchorage being lost in the virtual set-up. Once you are finished making changes, you can then “unlock” the tooth to detail as needed.

On patients with maxillary transverse discrepancies whom also require AP correction, it may make sense to move the precision button cutout to the lingual of the upper.

The staging tab can be useful to assess what stage attachments will be added.

ClinCheck is a representation of:

It is not important to evaluate the tooth size discrepancy analysis to add input to your technician on how to detail your patient’s specific malocclusion.

A Systematic way of reviewing and designing ClinCheck files suggest that you:
