Why it’s time to add Invisalign clear aligners to your dental practice

Why it’s time to add Invisalign clear aligners to your dental practice

Vandana KatyalDr Katyal’s Publications, Uncategorised

Dentistry and orthodontics are no longer the separate domains that they once were. Technology is now enabling dentists to master specific digital orthodontics skills that were once only able to be delivered by orthodontists – such as Invisalign clear aligners.

To deliver expertise in your orthodontic procedures, however, you need a level of knowledge, training and practice in digital orthodontics that is not taught in university dental courses.

BOSS’s innovative Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Orthodontics 100% Online, which is approved by the UK awarding body (EduQual), was created specifically to bridge this knowledge gap for dental professionals, and to empower them with a high level of confidence in the management of Invisalign clear aligners cases.

The Diploma – which is approved for 100 hours of CPD and is delivered over a 12-month period – equips you with the skills to plan treatments using advanced software, accurately predict outcomes and monitor progress remotely using the latest in dental technology. And by virtue of being 100% online, it not only enables you to learn and review content at your own pace, but also eliminates both the need to take time away from your dental practice and the expenses of travel and accommodation often associated with professional development courses.

The Diploma was created by the founder of BOSS (Best Orthodontic Seminars & Sessions), Dr Vandana Katyal, who has a wealth of experience straightening patients’ teeth using Invisalign clear aligners. In fact, she is a member of an elite band of dental professionals to hold the status of Invisalign Diamond Provider. To help those looking for the best and most experienced person to straighten their teeth using this system, the Invisalign Providers Certification Standard created three levels of ‘super elite’ status – of which Diamond is the highest. To be awarded the Diamond Provider status, an orthodontist or dentist must consistently treat at least 151 people annually with Invisalign. Dr Katyal has been doing so in her Sydney-based practice for several years.

For a taste of Dr Katyal’s teaching, watch her discuss creating an orthodontic problem list and treatment plan below:

The Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Orthodontics 100% Online uses case-based learning – proven to be the most effective way of educating dentists about the safest and most productive way to add orthodontic techniques to their services.

Watch Dr Katyal discuss one of the over 1,000 clear aligner cases she has managed below:

The Diploma is built on the three pillars of enhancing your competence, confidence and case acceptance in order to support the growth of your career, your practice and your profitability.

Through the BOSS e-learning platform, course attendees learn how to diagnose cases and understand complexities; plan treatment with digital methods and workflows; and manage risk and finish cases to a high standard.

The course components cover everything from malocclusion diagnosis, biomechanics and digital set-ups, through to teen and early intervention, 3-D scanning and remote Dental Monitoring.

The diploma also features support and feedback in the form of a private case discussion platform, access to live and recorded webinars, group coaching and unlimited online support.

The BOSS Postgraduate Diploma in Digital Orthodontics 100% Online is the most comprehensive clear aligner course available to dental professionals and will equip you with the skills to deliver modern, practical and profitable clear aligners treatments in your practice.

What People Are Saying

  • I completed the BOSS UK Diploma in 2021 and when it became available, signed up for the AU course as well. I completed the AU course at the end of last year and can honestly say BOSS (now Digital Orthodontic College) has completely changed my approach to clear aligner treatments and increased my confidence with treatment planning immensely. The fact that the course is 100% online was a huge drawcard for me initially since I have two young children, work clinically part-time and run my own business. It allowed me the flexibility to study when I had the chance and didn’t result in any loss of clinical time. Dr V is extremely passionate about orthodontics and more importantly sharing her wisdom and that comes through in her approach to teaching. The course is extremely comprehensive (NB: the AU course has quite a few complex assessments) and covers everything starting from the basics of tooth movement, which sets a good foundation and is therefore suitable even for beginners. The monthly/bimonthly webinars allow students to share cases and is a safe space, non-judgmental and therefore an incredible learning platform. I had been doing clear aligner treatments prior to starting this course, but BOSS helped me see patients with new eyes and has overhauled my treatment planning approach. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in learning, or to extend their knowledge about, clear aligner treatments.

    Thank you so much Dr V!

  • The Australian accredited 10905NAT Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatment offers comprehensive training in the field, gives the candidate the opportunity to do things in a self-paced manner, while getting a personalised 1-on-1 learning experience with Dr Vandana Katyal. It was an excellent choice for me and gave me the flexibility to get the well-designed training done in my own time frame. I would strongly recommend the course to any practitioners who is looking to upskill themselves with a no-compromise high quality course, while also having to juggle between busy practices and family schedules.

  • I started this course unsure of how much I would benefit. The in-person lectures were fantastic (although the course is now 100% online) where I made good friends and learned a lot. The online resources are extensive and second to none, accessible at your convenience. The webinars were great – usually with the right mix of teaching, cases demonstrated and the attendees’ cases being discussed. I was also invited to deliver a webinar on intra-oral scanners, 3D printers and in house aligner manufacturing (from a dentist’s point of view) – which I enjoyed.
    Most of all the course gave significantly more confidence what can be done with aligners, how plan the setup efficiently with the end in mind and how to make the processes to get there smoother. As a result, a MUCH larger chunk of my work is now aligner based. My conversion rate for aligner treatments has definitely increased along with my confidence. The course has easily paid for itself. Full disclosure: I was invited to deliver a webinar on intra-oral scanners, 3D printers and in house aligner manufacture to my BOSS batch mates, which I also thoroughly enjoyed doing. I declined any remuneration for this, although it was offered.

  • Since I have joined the postgraduate diploma in orthodontics I have noticed all the applied practical learning/knowledge on my patients and I am only half way through the year. Dr Vandana is a genuine educator. She goes way beyond to simplify every lecture and I really like her evidence based information and that is available for us 24/7. Her webinars helped a lot for busy dentists and loved the feedback we get in the one on one sessions with our cases. It make us think every step of the way. But the best thing I like is to see she is giving back to the community and her association with Smile Train in helping children with cleft palate is just beyond words. Thank you so much for being nice and approachable.

  • Received my Diploma in Digital Orthodontics from BOSS and couldn’t be more stoked! Huge shout out to Dr Vandana Katyal and the BOSS team for a wonderful year. I would recommend BOSS to every dentist no matter their level of experience with Orthodontics and clear aligners. Starting off with barely any orthodontic experience, I have commenced about 9 cases in the matter of months and BOSS gave me the confidence to predictably deliver results for my patients through clear aligners which are the future of modern orthodontics.
    Dr Sarang Sathe, Dentist NSW

  • I chose Boss’s clear aligner diploma because I wanted to know the latest evidence based practice to enhance my treatment planning and case execution. I now have a much better understanding of how to diagnose, what movements can be done and what will get me into trouble. The flexible nature of the course delivery also fit perfectly into full time work and my otherwise packed schedule. The monthly case presentation webinars are also great to not only get feedback from Dr Katyal, but also to validate your own thoughts self-assess and see how you are tracking with your learning.
