Hey Dr. Reinhardt my ortho didn’t polish my teeth after performing IPR. He didn’t apply any fluoride varnish. What can I do to minimize my risk of getting caries?
Depending on the technique used for IPR, sometimes the polishing is done at the same time. According to studies and scientific literature, fluoride varnish will not provide additional protection following IPR procedure. As for the risks of minimizing caries, it's always the same thing: brush brush, brush, floss, floss, floss and visit your dentist regularly ;)
You guys are funny. Seriously funny, go on the comedy circuit.
We enjoy what we are doing a lot ;) Glad you enjoy it too!
Hi Dr. Reinhardt, At the 41-minute mark of your presentation, you describe the gingival vs. incisal beveled rectangular attachment. From my previous instruction, I have always understood what you demonstrated to be an incisal bevel and NOT gingival. Is there a difference in the interpretation or school of thought regarding gingival vs. incisal beveling?
It can be confusing, but we think the best way to put it is, the bevel is actually the surface where the force will be applied. But in some cases, and depending on the angulation of the attachment, it can even seem that there are two bevels, one incisal and one gingival. The attachment would look like an isosceles triangle with the base bonded on the tooth :) Now we’re mixing physics and geometry! Thank you for your question; good observation.
Man this is painful to watch. Can't we skip the jokes and just explain
Thanks for the feedback! We hope it's was not as painful as a tooth extraction 😬 Oups... Another joke... We know our style isn’t for everyone, and we like to keep things a bit lighthearted and entertaining, but we totally get that some prefer to skip straight to the technical details. Fortunately, TH-cam’s full of other options and we are convinced you can find something that will suit your expectations. And as much as we love explaining clear aligners with a smile, if the jokes aren’t your thing, our other videos might not be either. But for those who enjoy a little fun along the way, we’ll keep the balance as it is!
Bein an orthodontist i can agree with every point you said 💯 i love your videos please keep going dear doctor
Thank you Dr. Osama for your nice comment! We will certainly keep on going. Don’t hesitate to share our channel with your colleagues. Don’t keep us a secret ;)
Why my Doc said change every 15 days once, i really don't know some videos says 7days some says 15days once. I am in the journey of 30th Aligner. But now a days i am changing 12days once without doc consultation.
Scientific literature recommends a 7 day change in most cases but your Doc might have good reasons why they recommend to change every 15 days. There are a lot of different reasons that could explain this choice. There are no recipes and we have to adapt to every situation!
@@theCLEARinstitute Oh Thanks
I’m 25 just got my braces I have cross bite + overbite and bcoz of that my face has asymmetric and my front teeth sits right side Does the braces will correct my asymmetry ?
It really depends what type of asymetry and what causes it. We recommend you ask your treating Doc for this answer. In some cases it can correct the crossbite; and in other cases not.
Do we need two different types of attachment or switch to a new attachment in the middle of procedure to achieve rotation and then mesialize/distalize the molar? Also, how do we sequence the movement first second and third and make sure to achieve each movement before moving on to the next step?
Excellent questions that need a lot of explanation :) We recommend you the Distalization Mechanics online course that will answer to these question and more! Here is the link: learn.theclearinstitute.com/collections/online-courses/products/distalization-mechanics-with-clear-aligners
Being a virtual setup technician...i wish more and more ODs watch this video..specially the part where they want to see perfect final alignment and totallly missunderstand that the extra root torque they want exists in clinchecks only and final alignment will be without the lingual tip unlike the clincheck.
Cannot agree more! Thank you for watching and do not hesitate to share with your community 😊
hi doc, does the sensitivity caused by ipr reduce with time or it stays forever
There should not be any permanent sensitivity coming from performing IPR. And most of the time there isn't any sensitivity during performing IPR. Scientific literature is clear on that: IPR does not create any harm to the patients. It's a safe procedure when performed the rigth way. Like a lot of other things we do in dentistry :)
Is there a reason that clincheck software cannot account for this? It seems like a relatively predictable thing to program, so is the software really just not that advanced?
The software represents how the force will be applied and not how the teeth will react or move. We can expect that in the future we’ll be able to see both on a virtual setup: that would be ideal!
Hi from Chile,I made it using a aesthetic botton to the tooth and using a elastic to a little cut in the aligner. Was pretty easy as well
It was easy because you understand the principles and the mechanics! Well done! Thanks for the comment.
My dentist did not use any attachments on my teeth he just put simple aligners i also have diastema and open bite.
If your dentist decided to treat without attachments, he/she must have a good reason. Every case is different. Let us know how it turns out for you!
Can you clean them in hydrogen peroxide ?
If you dilute it with lumewarm water (50/50), hydrogen peroxyde can be an effective way to clean aligners and help remove stains. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes.Make sure you brush them well after and rinse them before putting them back.

oh my god you are so annoying
I'm on my third aligner with bite ramps and I've noticed after like a day or two the bite ramps turn from a bump that stops the teeth into a literal ramp that the teeth slide back up along when I bite down. How do I stop crushing the bite ramp or is there something wrong with them?
This is unfortunately something that can happen more often when there is heavy grinding or clenching of the teeth. We suggest informing your treating dentist or orthodontist as soon as possible.
I have over bite teeth what should i do i choose IPR or removing 4 teeth which one please help?
IPR
If a case where both options would achive the same result we would choose IPR for sure. For your case we recommend you see a trained dentist or orthodontist to have the best option for your condition.
Amazing video, thanks Stephane
Would it be a waste of time doing dental work experience if you get rejected from dental school
Learning is never a waste of time ;)
Thank you for the video Doc. What are the anchorage requirements to rotate the molar? Lock all other posterior teeth on that side until the rotation is finished?
I wanted to ask the same thing since molar rotation is challenging with clear aligners especially when we deal with an angle near to 20-25°
Great question. Rotation of round teeth (cuspids and premolars) are even more challenging. First make sure there is no friction or collision with the other teeth. Determine if it’s only rotation or a combination of movements (any tipping or torquing involved as well?). What type of rotation is it? Pure vs hinge? Where do you need to apply the force? For example if the teeth would be in soft wax, where would you apply the force with your thumbs? That will be a good indication of where to put attachments. And it is known from scientific literature that asking for a 1 degree of rotation per aligner can greatly help in the predictability of the movement. If it’s only rotation, there is no need to lock the other teeth into position. We hope this will help you :) Have fun with your rotations ;)
@@theCLEARinstitute thanks for the detailed answer :)
I do not want IPR since my bottom front teeth already have half the enamel worn down. How IPR was recommended to me for my Invisalign treatment knowing this issue is a problem, bothers me. I'd rather a longer treatment plan then making my already worn down teeth worse and unfixable.
Update?
We recommend discussing your concerns with your treating dentist or orthodontist. Interproximal reduction (IPR) is performed between the teeth and does not impact the worn areas of your teeth.
Long term or short term-wise, Is it ever a bad idea to opt out of IPR and extractions? I told my orthodontist that I don’t want to have an IPR, the orthodontist said it’s fine but I would have just some minimal imperfections. The reason I don’t want IPR is because I like the size of my teeth how it is and I don’t like retrusion of my teeth/jaw. I want the fullest jaw as I can get basically.
Update? Do you like the result?
We’re glad you and your orthodontist could agree on the approach to take in your case. Communication is always the best solution :)
I'm ok with IPR when it is conservative. I prefer to use metal strips over a bur. Burs seem aggressive and it's hard to keep things even.
Not against IPR but MAN...i hate doing it 😅!!
We totally understand. But sometimes a dentist's gotta do what a dentist's gotta do 😉 Thank you for watching and commenting!
Stephane, thanks as always. Love these gems 💎 🦷

Does Suresmile offer bite ramps to help a deep bite?
The important thing to remember with bite ramps is, as any article been published proving it helps in deep bite cases? And if so, how? By intruding the lower anterior teeth? How? From the intermittent pressure it applies on the teeth? Hhmmmm… Maybe it helps in the disclusion of posterior teeth when we want to extrude them, but it is still, at the moment, a clinical opinion rather than a scientific fact.
If I have a patient that already has braces when she was younger, has been compliant with wearing her retainer from Ortho and has shorter maxillary anterior roots, but is now having traumatic occlusion on #9 banging against #23... There is now class I mobility on #9 due to the occlusion. Would a maxillary retainer with bite ramps on #7-#10 help this patient by opening her bite slightly to prevent the traumatic occlusion? She does not wear a lower retainer due to having a lingual bar.
Thank you for reaching out with your question and providing a detailed description of the patient's situation. While specific cases like the one you mentioned involve complex decision-making, it's important to remember that providing diagnostic and treatment planning without a comprehensive examination can be highly inaccurate and potentially misleading. In general, addressing a situation involving traumatic occlusion, especially in the anterior region, requires a multifaceted approach. The primary goal is to identify and eliminate the cause of the trauma. This could involve various interventions, such as occlusal adjustment, intrusion, or proclination/retroclination of the involved teeth, among others. Simply adding bite ramps to a retainer might not address the underlying issue of traumatic occlusion effectively. While it might offer temporary relief, it does not resolve the cause of the trauma. In clinical practice, the focus should always be on a comprehensive solution that not only treats the symptoms but also addresses the root cause of the problem. Each patient's situation is unique, and treatment plans should be tailored to their specific needs, considering all factors, including previous orthodontic treatments, compliance with retainer wear, and the current condition of their dentition. Again, while we can discuss general approaches and considerations, it's crucial for the patient to consult with their dentist/orthodontist for a personalized evaluation and treatment plan. Only a professional who can assess the patient's condition firsthand can provide the most accurate and effective treatment recommendations. Thank you for understanding the limitations of online advice.
I want to be a dentist but i grew up poor and have had bad teeth and i feel sad that i want to become a dentist cause even if you put in the work and became one you would still have bad teeth and no one would respect that at all
Haha, loved this! You definitely got me
Please don't give a patient the 5th degree over not wearing their elastics like he's suggesting here. You might as well turn on the light and face it right at them while asking like you are under investigation for a crime. I've been that patient and it's really uncomfortable and embarrassing. Have some compassion. An easy resolution is to gently remind them to wear their elastics, how often they shouldbewearingthem, ask if they are having issues with using them. Especially if you as the provider can tell the patient hasn't been using them.
You are right! Communication and explanation is the best solution and should be the first thing to do. And using humour always helps, like we do in this video ;) Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you
Love it!
Thank you Adriana!
Hlo... I have missing upper two laterals with space .. Is alligners helfull for me to replacement of canine in place of lateral incisor
Always depending on your case, it may be possible. But in similar cases, aligners can be used to either to create and open spaces for implants or to close spaces and for example bringing canines to substitute the missing laterals. Each case is unique and has to be evaluated by a knowledgeable dentist or orthodontist.
Very inspirational. I loved it. Bravo Stephane
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Tremendous message. Exceptional delivery
I have a very wise orthodontist as a mentor!

Hello Dr,,where can i download clincheck 6.0,,Thanks...
The beauty of it is there is no need to download anything. Everything is on the cloud. You just need to become an Invisalign provider and you will automatically have access to the ClinCheck software.
How about for inhouse clear aligners..
@@ravinimbal1621 Depending on the system you use, you will have a software to make your virtual setup. Every system have their own software. The one described in this video is the one used for Invisalign clear aligners. One thing to remember is that the principles and mechanics of tooth movement apply to all types of clear aligners :)
this is exxelante whats your name are you a doctor
We appreciate your positive feedback! If you found our content valuable, please feel free to share it with others. Dr. Stephane Reinhardt is a general dentist with over 30 years of experience who developed an interest in orthodontics and clear aligners. He leads our educational endeavors at The CLEAR Institute. As the Director of Education, he ensures that our range of online courses, private coaching sessions, and live in-person courses are impactful and relevant. Dive deeper into our offerings and Dr. Reinhardt’s expertise at: learn.theclearinstitute.com Your journey to clear aligner mastery starts here!
WHAT IS THE WORK FLOW FOR ALIGNERS?
It starts with a good examination, scanning and taking all records to have a complete diagnostic. Informed consent is crucial. Then treatment planning using virtual software like the ClinCheck. Once the aligners are ordered, we see the patient and deliver the aligners. Depending on the case and your level of knowledge and confidence, you decide how often you want to see the patient to monitor and follow up on the results. Once treatment is finished and patient is satisfied we start the retention protocol that will last until the patient wants to keep the teeth straight :) You will find everything you need to know in the MOCA 101 online program here: learn.theclearinstitute.com/collections/bundles/products/m-o-c-a-101-the-foundation-basic-clear-aligner-principles
Just noticed these on my next set of trays, was wondering if my dentist just forgot schedule for attachments now I know. But now I am just curious why they aren’t filled in with plastic
We are wondering the same and Dr. Reinhardt has been saying for many years that the bite ramps should be filled by plastic. Then we would have the benefit of the bite ramps combined with the benefit of an active push by the plastic covering the lingual surface of the teeth.

What do you think of sure smile aligners and the fact that I will not be getting buttons placed on my teeth also the aligners feel a little loose on the top thank you😊
Studies and scientific literature proves that having the right attachments will increase the predictability of tooth movement and success, whatever system you use. It’s scientific evidence… Even better than what we think ;)
Please fix your website It’s too slow
We will check that. Thank you for sharing.
Invisalign has over ten million cases. Why, after all these years, do we have to second-guess the results? Why should we even have to add overcorrection? THIS SHOULD BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE INITIAL INVISALIGN SETUP!!!! Experienced and knowledgeable clinicians such as Stephanie must be the force behind the Clincheck algorithms. When a case requires a specific setup to achieve the result, that should be a part of the initial setup. It is frustrating for patients to undergo multiple refinements over an extended period to achieve the planned result.
Thank you for your comment Richard. We dream of the day when the virtual setup softwares will reproduce the real movements of the teeth and also adat them to the type of attachments and mechanics we place on the teeth. We’re just not there yet. What we see on the ClinCheck is the shapes of the aligners, a force system. How the force will be applied on the teeth. But we have to figure out and visualize how this will translate in the patient’s mouth. There is a difference between a ClinCheck and a RealityCheck ;)
@@theCLEARinstitute Hi Stephane. Thank you for taking the time to provide your thoughts. The ClinCheck and the RealityCheck should be the same. The technician must point out that certain teeth are precisely positioned to compensate for the flexible trays. Doing so will reduce the number of refinement trays. After ten million plus cases, the proper setup by Invisalign must be done according to what you are teaching and what is required for the appliance to achieve the desired movements. After all these years, I am trying to understand why this is not being done. It makes working with the appliance extremely frustrating. In many cases, brackets and wires are just faster and more predictable.
