More and more dental offices are booked months in advance and are operating with a limited staff. Dentists expect hygienists to deliver thorough cleanings but with less time allotted for each procedure. I would like to discuss ways to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality. The demands of life make it challenging to keep up with new and innovative technology. I would like to cover the latest technological advancements and products that could lead to better patient outcomes. Finally, I want to address personal health and wellness, which is essential for career longevity. In addition to exploring in-office and home yoga techniques, I would like to conduct a deep dive into anatomy, helping hygienists understand why their bodies hurt and exploring natural options to help them feel their best and perform at their highest level. After the CE webinar you can expect to offer new, highly sought-after services that help keep dental patients from escaping your practice.

With the increase in popularity and demand for clear aligners, many dental professionals face situations that comprise complex malocclusions and questions on how to achieve the most predictable results. The first step is to choose a system that can deliver in this environment, while also considering potential hybrid treatment plans. Additionally, clinicians need to understand the full aligner journey so that the path to successful resolution is clear and calculated.
