Gaining traction

This new, simplified approach to teeth straightening takes GDPs through identifying, planning and monitoring aesthetic cases, enabling them to use Invisalign to treat patients confidently right from the get go.

Feedback from some of the first GDPs to embark on the Invisalign Go programme illustrates that they have been able to start treating patients immediately after their initial sessions using a blend of skills conferred on them by Aligner Consulting. They also continue to draw on continued support and mentoring in the ensuing months which adds to their confidence and their skill set. 

According to early adopters the primary benefits of the new system include:

Align Technology is working with Raman Aulakh and Barry Buckley, who are amongst the most respected names in Invisalign training, to help general dentists new to the Invisalign system get up and running with a fresh approach to aesthetic teeth straightening immediately.

The Aligner Consulting programme they run for GDPs, which features a parallel session for staff members, are held several times a month country-wide. Those who join their coaching programme benefit from a blended learning approach to Invisalign accreditation which combines an online component with an in-person training day, featuring lectures and hands-on training. The programme has been specifically created to help develop new skills which will help GDPs extend their practices to treat patients with the much-requested Invisalign system. To do so, each participant is invited to bring along a practice staff member – at no extra cost – as the programme is also designed to provide their team with the aptitude and impetus to promote the treatment with fluency and confidence.
