Ortho aligner attachments (Dr Katie Xu)
About
This lecture explores the biomechanics and clinical applications of and clear aligner therapy highlighting their role in enhancing predictability of tooth movement. Dr Katie Xu provides a structured framework for aligner case planning from initial occlusion analysis to staging, attachment placement, and the use of auxiliaries. Key topics include the functions of attachments for retention deep bite and open bite correction, extrusion, torque, rotation, expansion, and translation. The lecture clinically reviews conventional versus optimised attachments, addressing their design, effectiveness, and limitations, while integrating evidence from current literature. Clinical protocols for challenging movements- such as extrusion anterior torque, and root control- are presented alongside troubleshooting strategies including auxiliaries elastics and staging modifications.Location
