Join Dr. Bill Layman for a practical, workflow-focused Lunch & Learn at AAO Annual on May 2 in Orlando, Florida. This session explores how different aligner workflows can work together—without locking you into a single way of practicing. Using real-world examples, Dr. Layman will walk through four aligner workflows that reflect how orthodontists can treat patients on one single digital platform: from assisted planning to self-planning with in-house manufacturing, hybrid approaches, and braces-to-aligner finishing. This session focuses on what works in today’s practice.
You’ll see how standardized ideal setups can create a consistent clinical starting point across workflows—while still preserving clinical judgment and doctor control. This is an essentialism approach to how to choose the right workflow for the right case, reduce friction between planning and production, and scale efficiency without sacrificing flexibility.
Learning Objectives:
- How standardized ideal setups create a consistent clinical starting point
- When to use assisted planning vs. self-planning—and how to move between both
- How in-house printing and outsourced aligners can coexist in one ecosystem
- Practical strategies for finishing cases efficiently with aligners
- Why digital workflow flexibility is becoming essential for modern orthodontic practices
If your goal is to streamline systems while maintaining control, this session will give you a clear framework to do exactly that.
Registration is complimentary. Space is very limited. If you register and cannot attend, please be considerate and give notice 48 hours in advance so we can offer your space to another registrant.
