The lifetime patient - a different approach to the provision of aesthetic dentistry via education and continued communication - Dr. Tif Qureshi

Aims and objectives:

• Understand the occlusal and functional effect of continued tooth movement
• To highlight the planning protocols of simple occlusion-driven anterior alignment methodology, using digital arch evaluation and 3D printing
• To consider the protection of guidance, and the long term function, via planning and retention methodology
• Edge bonding as a viable non-invasive aesthetic, and functional tool, for cosmetic dentistry and occlusal treatment via the Dahl principle
• Understand how align bleach and bond can totally change the way we approach all cases, not just cosmetic ones
• Understand how case planning, and appropriate treatment, can help all dentists carry out simple anterior treatments that not only have aesthetic but also clear and long-term functional benefits
• How cosmetic dentistry can actually be far more functionally driven, this applies to vastly more patients than traditionally believed
• Understand how a safe and systematic driven approach to restoratively focused orthodontics can provide results that are achievable and last for years, and how this is applicable to nearly every patient
• Communicate with patients daily in a better way, that allows patients to understand what is happening to their teeth over a lifetime, making a more informed decision on intervention
