Aligners: From Beginner to Expert in 6 Months

Course Overview

Led by Dr. Daniel Souza Pinto Ramos, this six-month training program is structured as a complete pathway into aligner orthodontics, taking practitioners from foundational biomechanics through to protocols for genuinely complex clinical cases. The course is organized into two blocks, so learners build a solid grounding before moving into case-specific treatment protocols.

The first block covers digital orthodontic diagnosis and ideal smile planning, along with core aligner biomechanics — including attachments, staging, elastics, ramps, and strategies for improving predictability and managing overcorrection. The second block then applies these principles to specific malocclusion types, with step-by-step protocols for crowding, Class II and Class III cases, open bite, deep bite, extraction cases, and growing patients, closing with adjunct therapies for complex cases.

Across 12 modules delivered over six months, the course is designed to take a practitioner from aligner fundamentals to confident management of complex orthodontic cases in a single, structured curriculum.
