What You Don’t Know About Clear Aligners

Hundreds of general dentists across North America joined us live on one of our most popular tours in 2024. Now, for the first time ever, you can access the same premium experience from the comfort of your home.

This isn’t just another CE course.
It’s your stepping stone into building a successful Invisalign^® and clear aligner practice.

Led by Dr. Stephen Schalk and the Clearly Aligned™ team, What You Don’t Know About Clear Aligners is a course built for GPs who want real results, not more fluff surface level information.

What You’ll Learn:

1. The most common mistakes and misconceptions GPs make when starting with aligners
2. How to simplify case selection and build early confidence
3. Real-world systems and workflows you can implement the next day
4. A breakdown of clear aligner principles that actually apply to GP practices, not just ortho clinics

Why This Course Exists:

Let’s face it, there are too many barriers keeping general dentists from doing more Invisalign^®. Confusion. Fear of bad outcomes. Lack of mentorship.

You simply don't know, what you don't know.

This course was created to break down those barriers and show you how approachable, profitable, and fulfilling clear aligner therapy can be, especially when you start the right way.
