Session topic
Advancing clinical possibilities with high trimline design and auxillaries with Angel Aligner
Session abstract:
This session will provide a clinically oriented exploration of how the high trimline—supported by auxiliaries such as elastics, buttons, and optimized staging—can increase retention, refine force application, and elevate the predictability of complex tooth movements. Through real clinical cases and insight into digital planning strategies, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to apply these tools across various malocclusions, from simple alignment needs to challenging biomechanical scenarios.
By the end of the lecture, attendees will have a clear and practical overview of how to integrate the high trimline and auxiliaries into their protocols to improve control, optimize anchorage, streamline treatment sequences, and ultimately deliver superior comfort, stability, and clinical outcomes for their patients.

Sagittal control through Curve of Spee management: Class II & III strategies across all ages
Session abstract:
This lecture examines how targeted leveling of the Curve of Spee can support or limit sagittal correction in children, adolescents, and adults. A focused review of biomechanics, clinical protocols, and case evidence will show how vertical control, arch coordination, and occlusal plane modulation can be applied to improve outcomes across age groups and malocclusion types.
Attendees will learn to diagnose the Curve of Spee as a sagittal determinant, select appropriate leveling and occlusal-plane protocols, and integrate aligner-based or fixed approaches for predictable correction, with attention to long-term stability
