You finish a 28-step plan. The patient wears every aligner. Six months in, the lateral hasn't rotated and the canine tipped instead of translated. What failed was the biomechanical reasoning behind the plan. Across 50,000+ plans we've seen the same pattern: when a movement doesn't express, the cause sits in one of three factors - anchorage, stress or contact. Get one wrong and it won't express.

What behaves perfectly on screen rarely acts the same in the mouth. That’s usually when a voice in the back of our head mutters, “Maybe we need a power arm.” What a power arm

Why staging and biomechanics are the core of predictable aligner treatments Success with clear aligners is not simply about creating a...
