Step-by-Step 3D Printing Your Own In-Office Clear Aligners - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Melissa D Shotell, this course covers diagnosis, treatment planning, and step-by-step clinical procedure for clear aligner therapy, built around in-house 3D printing rather than relying entirely on outside aligner labs. Rather than treating aligner therapy and 3D printing as separate skills, the course integrates them into a single, complete workflow.

The curriculum covers digital workflows, in-office 3D printing technique, and aligner fabrication from start to finish. Beyond the clinical and technical side, it addresses the business realities of running an in-house aligner service — practice management, insurance billing, and marketing strategies to grow orthodontic services within a general practice.

Across 60 videos and 26 hours of content, the course covers the entire process from initial record-taking through final delivery and patient monitoring, giving practices a genuinely complete path to bringing aligner therapy in-house.
