Organised by Align Technology in cooperation with CAPP, the course addressed the growing clinical demand for predictable and effective strategies when treating challenging orthodontic cases with clear aligners. With aligner therapy continuing to expand in scope and complexity, the integration of skeletal anchorage devices and digital tools has become increasingly essential for modern practitioners.

Throughout the session, attendees explored the biomechanics behind mini screws, the clinical applications of orthodontic sliders, and the role of digital planning in enhancing case precision. The instructors provided a balanced mix of theoretical guidance and hands-on training, allowing participants to gain confidence in applying these advanced concepts within their daily practice.

The course fostered a collaborative learning environment, with participants engaging in discussions, case reviews, and practical exercises. Their active involvement reflected a strong commitment to professional development and a shared interest in mastering evolving orthodontic technologies.

As digital orthodontics continues to advance, training programmes such as this remain vital in equipping clinicians with evidence-based techniques and innovative solutions. The partnership between Align Technology and CAPP highlights a continued dedication to raising the standard of orthodontic care across the region.
