Focus On Aligners

Lecture on Real Life, Real Cases

In this section of the Clear Aligners Intensive Course, Dr Carlos Colino highlights the importance of taking the time to review every detail of the first Virtual Treatment Plan before approving any case. Understanding biomechanics from the very beginning helps prevent mistakes, minimise unnecessary refinements, and create treatments that are more predictable and efficient.

This is just one of the many real clinical cases you will see throughout the course, explained in a simple and practical way. In this case, you will follow the correction of a severe adult deep bite using just 42 aligners and only 2 TADs during an intermediate phase, while understanding the clinical reasoning behind every decision.

At Focus On Aligners, we don’t just teach protocols. For 6 months, we review your cases with you, helping you start treating patients with confidence, predictability, and far less stress.

Join the waiting list and secure your place today. We look forward to sharing with you the knowledge gained from thousands of clinical cases treated using more than 10 different clear aligner systems.

Great aligner treatments are not built by simply following standard protocols. They are built by making the right clinical decisions when things do not go to plan.

That is why the experience of the people guiding you matters.

- Understand the reasoning behind each decision
- Identify potential complications earlier
- Approach cases involving Clear Aligners with greater confidence

The goal is not just to showcase ideal results, but to equip you with the clinical judgement and practical tools to manage real cases with greater predictability 💙

🦷 Great aligner treatments aren't judged by how they start, they're judged by how they finish.
Too many courses focus on selling aligner treatment and getting you to start cases as quickly as possible, but very few teach you how to detail, troubleshoot and consistently achieve exceptional finishes.

At Focus on Aligners, we believe that finishing is a skill in itself. That's why we dedicate an entire module of our 6 Month Intensive Programme to the final stages of treatment.

📚 In this final module, our doctors learn:
✅ Our detailing and finishing protocol
✅ How to recognise when a case is truly finished
✅ How to avoid and correct one of the most common finishing mistakes: posterior open bites
✅ Troubleshooting: what to do when teeth don't track as planned
✅ How to structure efficient follow up appointments
✅ Hybrid treatments: combining fixed appliances with clear aligners
✅ Retention protocols for long term stability
✅ Our ClinCheck® approval checklist before every case starts

Keep your finishing standards to the highest level... become exceptional. 🚀

Great treatment starts with great diagnosis. 🦷

Too many clinicians jump straight into clear aligner treatment (especially in short courses!) without understanding why they're making each clinical decision. And no technology, not even AI, can fix that gap.

That's why Module 1 of our program is 100% dedicated to diagnosis. Before moving a single tooth, our doctors learn to think critically, analyse cases properly, and build treatment plans on real biological and biomechanical principles.

📚 Module 1: Diagnosis — what we'll cover:

✅ Orthodontic vs orthopaedic tooth movement
✅ Extraoral, intraoral & functional examination
✅ Parafunctional habits (tongue thrust, mouth breathing) & their impact on facial growth
✅ Tongue-tie, lip-tie & airway assessment
✅ Cephalometric analysis: understanding it, not just trusting AI tracings
✅ Correct landmark identification
✅ Centric relation vs maximum intercuspation
✅ Records: how to take them right, efficiently & ergonomically
✅ Legal & ethical considerations + our FoA diagnosis template
✅ 3D & transverse analysis, skeletal expansion appliance selection
✅ Our go-to free tools for diagnosis & 3D analysis softwares
