Say “Goodbye” to Posterior Open Bites and Refinements!

Posterior Open Bite is a common cause for refinement after clear aligner therapy. Without proper diagnosis and appropriate solution, the iatrogenic malocclusion can worsen. Learn the attachments and protocols to quickly solve and then prevent your next POB, automatically reducing your refinement rate!

  • Learn to identify the causes of Posterior Open Bite

  • Discuss options to efficiently resolve POB’s clinically and with additional aligners

  • Revisit the GLR protocols for POB prevention
