Orthodontics First, Implants Next: The Path to Success (Online on demand)
About this event
Orthodontics First, Implants Next: The Path to Success is a comprehensive on-demand webinar designed to help dental professionals master the integration of orthodontics and implant dentistry within a modern, interdisciplinary workflow.
The course focuses on the strategic use of pre-prosthetic orthodontics to optimize implant positioning and long-term outcomes. Participants will explore key concepts such as space management, digital treatment planning, and collaborative case design, all aimed at improving both functional and aesthetic results.
A strong emphasis is placed on digital dentistry, including the use of clear aligner systems and guided implant workflows to enhance precision, predictability, and team communication. By combining orthodontic alignment with implant planning, clinicians can achieve more controlled, efficient, and patient-centered treatment outcomes.
Ideal for general dentists and clinicians involved in restorative, orthodontic, or implant therapy, this course provides practical insights into managing complex cases through a fully integrated digital approach.

Why Attend
- Better implant positioning (and fewer compromises)
Placing implants into malpositioned dentitions forces restorative compromises. Learning when and how to use orthodontics first lets you create ideal space and angulation, so implants end up exactly where they should be—not where they have to be.
- More predictable aesthetic results
In the anterior zone especially, small positional errors become obvious. By aligning teeth before implant placement, you improve midline symmetry, gingival architecture, and emergence profiles—which directly impacts patient satisfaction.
- Stronger interdisciplinary control
This course clarifies how to coordinate orthodontics, surgery, and prosthetics into a single treatment plan, instead of treating them as separate phases. That reduces errors, remakes, and communication gaps.
- Integration of digital workflows
You’ll understand how to combine clear aligners, digital planning, and guided implant placement into one coherent workflow—improving precision and saving chair time.
- Ability to handle more complex cases
Cases that might seem “implant-only” often benefit from pre-treatment alignment. This expands your scope, allowing you to treat crowding, spacing issues, or occlusal discrepancies more effectively before placing implants.
- Long-term stability and fewer complications
Proper positioning reduces risks like overloading, peri-implant issues, and prosthetic failures. In short: better planning now means fewer problems later.
