Dr. Miraglia shares how his background in restorative and implant dentistry led him to clear aligners, and why an expansive, non-extraction approach helped him eliminate common frustrations like excessive IPR, too many attachments, poor tracking, and difficult finishes. They discuss how CandidPro's orthodontist-led treatment planning, remote monitoring, AI-supported tracking, and reduced chair time can make aligner therapy more predictable, profitable, and enjoyable for both doctors and patients. Dr. Miraglia also explains why clear aligners should be a team sport, how to improve patient compliance, and why GPs should start with simple cases before moving into more advanced treatment.
