About this event

“Advanced Hygiene Techniques for Today’s Dental Hygienist”

Advanced hygiene care extends far beyond periodontal disease management. This program explores modern hygiene techniques that enhance preventive, therapeutic, and maintenance appointments across all patient types. Attendees will learn how air polishing with soft powders and soft tissue laser technology support improved biofilm management, tissue health, patient comfort, and clinical efficiency. Designed for today’s dental hygienist, this course provides practical strategies to elevate care delivery, strengthen patient trust, and reinforce the hygienist’s role as a key clinical leader.

“Seeing Beyond Straight Teeth: Malocclusion Awareness and Clear Aligner Opportunities”

What’s Common Isn’t Normal: This educational course is designed to help dental clinicians strengthen their ability to identify malocclusion, understand its impact on oral health, and clearly communicate why treatment matters. While malocclusion is common, it is often overlooked or minimized in everyday practice. This presentation will challenge that mindset by exploring the biological, functional, and restorative consequences of untreated malocclusion. Attendees will gain practical communication strategies to educate patients effectively, build value around treatment recommendations, and support informed decision-making—leading to greater clarity, trust, and acceptance of clear aligner therapy.
