Description: 

Understanding mechanics is like putting all the pieces together. This is where we separate the children from the adults. From the basic principles and biology of tooth movement to more detailed mechanics, this complete course will bring answers to questions you have been asking yourself for a while. These things are not always easy to understand, but they can be understood!

• Understand the basic principles of clear aligner mechanics
• Understand the principles of orthodontic tooth movement
