Dr. Kevin Anderson started his orthodontic journey as a general dentist, learning brackets and wires before adding clear aligners to his clinical toolkit. In this episode of the Disruptive Dental Science Podcast, he tells Dr. Ashton Prince how he approaches aligner therapy in general practice — and what clinicians need to understand before adding it to their treatment options.
Their conversation covers case selection, comprehensive diagnostics, attachment placement, scanning, isolation, progress checks, patient compliance, and the limitations of aligner therapy. Dr. Anderson also shares practical insights on Clarity Aligners with Precision Grip Attachments, digital treatment planning, and integrating clear aligners into restorative treatment to improve predictability and conserve tooth structure.
Useful whether you're a general dentist considering clear aligners for the first time or an experienced clinician looking to make your orthodontic workflow more predictable.
