What’s worse than needing to do a Refinement? Doing 2 Refinements! Or 3! Refinements aren’t free, nor are they fun. Sending a case back without a plan can end up in double the number of aligners needed.

Course Objectives

Learn how to diagnose the cause of a Refinement and set up your ClinCheck with precision. Whether it’s for esthetics, function, or fixing a posterior open bite, this course will allow you to master a combination of writing to the technician and using the 3D controls to finish the case effectively and efficiently. These skills will help you read your original and Refinement ClinChecks clearly, plan future cases more accurately, and overall reduce your Refinement rate.
