Beyond Timing: Predicting, guiding and maximizing growth
Summary
Successful treatment in growing patients is not simply about intervening early, but identifying the opportunity for Right Time Intervention. This lecture will guide attendees through the different stages of growth and development, exploring how clear aligners can be used for interceptive treatment, arch development, eruption guidance, growth modification, and adolescent treatment. Through clinical evidence and practical workflows, attendees will gain confidence in selecting the right treatment approach at the right stage of development.
