Course Description:

Patients no longer want to simply hear about treatment possibilities…they want to see them. Modern digital workflows allow clinicians to demonstrate potential orthodontic and restorative outcomes in minutes, creating more engaging consultations and dramatically improving patient understanding and case acceptance. In this interactive hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to utilize Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro and Multiple Treatment Simulations to communicate treatment possibilities more effectively and confidently.

Through guided exercises and real-world workflows, attendees will discover how digital simulations can help identify opportunities for orthodontic and esthetic treatment, improve interdisciplinary communication, and create a more powerful patient experience. Participants will gain practical experience using simulation technology to present multiple treatment options, discuss esthetic possibilities, and help patients visualize the value of comprehensive care. Join us for this exciting hands-on experience and learn how simulation technology can help grow both ortho and restorative treatment in your practice while strengthening patient trust and communication.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how to utilize Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro in everyday clinical workflows
• Explore how Multiple Treatment Simulations can improve patient communication and case acceptance
• Discover how digital simulations can help identify orthodontic and esthetic treatment opportunities
• Gain hands-on experience creating and presenting digital treatment simulations
• Understand how simulation technology can enhance comprehensive treatment planning and interdisciplinary care
• Learn practical workflows to integrate digital simulations into restorative and esthetic consultations

Presenter's Bio:

I had been involved in digital dentistry for more than a decade before fully embracing the Align ecosystem. Early scanners in my practice mostly served as a replacement for impression material. When I adopted the iTero platform, that changed dramatically. Instead of simply replacing “goop,” the scanner became the center of how I diagnose, communicate with patients, and plan treatment.

Today my practice in San Antonio, Texas, runs three iTero scanners that are used all day, every day. The technology drives everything from the new patient experience to restorative dentistry and comprehensive treatment planning. What I quickly realized is that when dentists fully leverage the Align Digital Platform, it becomes much more than a scanner or an orthodontic tool. It becomes a platform that can elevate diagnosis, improve patient communication, and expand the types of treatment we are able to provide.

In addition to practicing full-time, I am proud to serve as Faculty for Molis Coaching, where I teach dentists how to integrate modern digital workflows into everyday practice. My lectures focus on practical systems that dentists can immediately implement in their own offices.

Programs I frequently present include Invisalign Smile Architect: Ortho-Restorative Treatment Planning, which explores how Invisalign can be combined with bonding, veneers, and even full mouth reconstruction to create comprehensive treatment plans. In Lumina Restorative: Digital Restorative Workflows with the iTero Lumina Scanner, I discuss how the iTero platform can be leveraged for restorative dentistry, ranging from single-unit crowns to complex full mouth rehabilitation. I also present Leveraging the Align Digital Platform for Diagnosis and Case Acceptance, highlighting tools such as Align Oral Health Suite and Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro with Multiple Treatment Simulations to help patients visualize treatment options and increase case acceptance.

My goal with every lecture is simple: help dentists unlock the full potential of the Align Digital Platform and bring those benefits to their own patients and practices.
