Best in class orthodontic design and treatment with aligners
10/09/2026
How do you assess whether a Class III case is suitable for aligner treatment?
It starts with the decisions made before treatment begins.
Together with Dr. Kseniia Lagonotte, Orthodontist, we created a practical checklist covering five key areas of Class III planning: case selection, final occlusion, lower arch limits, anchorage, and staging.
Swipe through to see the framework — and the clinical thinking behind it.
Want to go deeper into Class III biomechanics with aligners?
Join Dr. Ly T. Mar, DMD, MSc, FRCD(C) on September 17 for The Class III Aligner Playbook: Proven Strategies for Predictable Outcomes Without TADs or Surgery.

Real patient case: when tracking is lost, what do you do next?
At aligner 15, the patient was rescanned and the current tooth positions were compared with the original plan.
The result showed a clear discrepancy:
→ Anterior intrusion was achieved
→ Planned posterior extrusion was not
That difference matters.
Instead of simply moving on to the next set of aligners, the doctor can reassess treatment from the patient’s current position and decide what the next step should be.
On September 29, Dr. Luca Galli will go deeper into tracking loss, treatment progress, and the clinical decisions behind continuing, rescanning, or reprinting.

What is your aligner software really costing you?
Not just in fees — but in time, control, and workflow efficiency.
In his new DentalTown article, SoftSmile Founder & CEO Khamzat Asabaev explores the hidden costs behind aligner software: limited clinical control, repeated revisions, delays, and restricted access to case data.
Before choosing a software provider, there are bigger questions worth asking:
→ How much control do I have over treatment planning?
→ Who controls the technology and its clinical validation?
→ What happens to my case data if I switch providers?
Because software shouldn’t add another layer between the doctor and the treatment plan.

Your patient’s aligners stopped tracking. What should you do next?
Continue with the current plan? Adjust? Reprint?
Join Dr. Luca Galli on September 29 for a practical webinar on how to identify tracking issues, evaluate actual treatment progress against what was planned, and make more informed decisions about next steps.
You’ll explore how Matching in SoftSmile VISION can support that evaluation — giving you clearer information while keeping the clinical decision in your hands.

Who is really in control of an aligner treatment plan?
The doctor approves the plan — and remains responsible for the outcome. But how much of that plan is actually shaped by the doctor?
SoftSmile Founder & CEO Khamzat Asabaev explores this question in his expert column for DrBicuspid, looking at how technician workflows, software limitations, and commercial priorities can influence treatment planning.
The bigger question: Does your technology support your clinical decisions — or quietly shape them?
Thank you to the DrBicuspid editorial team for featuring this perspective.

Can challenging Class III cases be treated predictably — without TADs or surgery?ㅤ
Join Dr. Mar, DDS, MSc, FRCDC for a live webinar on practical strategies for non-surgical Class III treatment with clear aligners.ㅤ
Drawing on experience with thousands of aligner cases, Dr. Mar will break down the clinical decisions that matter most when predictability is the goal.ㅤ
What you’ll learn:ㅤ
→ How to identify the right candidates for an aligner-only approach
→ How to plan tooth movements, staging, and biomechanics
→ How to manage anchorage and anticipate reactive movements
→ How to improve control throughout treatment
→ When the limitations of aligners should change your treatment strategyㅤ
No TADs. No surgery. A practical Class III playbook built around smarter planning, biomechanics, and clinical control.ㅤ
Join us live and take a more structured approach to challenging Class III cases.ㅤ

What should you actually look for before approving a clear aligner treatment plan?
Dr. Anas Athar breaks down a practical, case-based protocol for reviewing digital treatment plans. Using a real clinical case, he’ll show how a consistent review process can help you catch planning issues early and support more predictable outcomes.

What’s actually happening under an attachment?
A canine is staged for a clean rotation.
The aligner tracks perfectly.
And on the next scan, that same tooth has barely turned — instead, it’s a fraction of a millimeter shorter.
This is what happens on any rounded surface under compression without a flat stop to redirect the force: it squeezes out from under the load, the aligner lifts, and the force resolves apically — the same way a watermelon seed shoots out from between two fingers instead of just rotating in place. What was planned as rotation shows up on the next scan as intrusion.
Canines and premolars are rounded by nature. So every clean rotation on those teeth depends on giving the aligner a flat, precisely angled surface to push against.
That’s the entire job of an attachment — a specific geometry engineered to convert a squeeze into a rotation.
We broke down the full force system behind this, with Dr. Luca Galli, in a new clinical guide: The Blueprint of Force.
Inside:
1. Why elastic mismatch — not the attachment — is the actual engine behind every tooth movement.
2. The mechanics of the “watermelon seed effect” on rounded canines and premolars.
3. Why attachment location changes the moment delivered to a tooth more than size does.
4. Why most force decay happens in the first 8 hours of wear.
5. How Phantom Force visualization inside SoftSmile Vision lets you visualize the predicted force system before a single aligner is manufactured.
The physics was always there. Now it’s visible before you manufacture, not discovered after.

Every aligner treatment plan deserves a careful review before the first tray is made.
Small decisions at this stage can affect how treatment progresses, whether movements track as expected, and how much refinement is needed later.
On August 20 at 12:00 PM EST, a renowned orthodontist and scholar practicing in Dallas, Tx, Dr. Anas Athar will walk through a practical protocol for reviewing aligner treatment plans before approval.
In this live session, you'll learn how to:
• Assess planned tooth movements
• Review staging and attachment placement
• Check whether the treatment plan matches your clinical objectives
• Identify details that should be revised before moving forward
The session is built around a real clinical case, showing the review process step by step and explaining the reasoning behind each decision.
