Has anyone taken a recent CE that truly improved chairside flow and patient education? I did the AAO 2-hour TAD assisting webinar last month and picked up tray setup and retraction tips, but I’m looking for something focused on digital scanning (we use iTero 5D) and aligner wear coaching, ideally under 3 hours and AGD/PACE approved. Which courses gave you usable scripts or checklists for bonding days or aligner starts?
Batch fix with Acrobat Action Wizard: one click runs OCR, bates, and auto-bookmarks from filenames so everything’s searchable before Jan 2. We moved our internal lock to 24 days pretrial with an 8:15 a.m; reminder so witness confirms and service don’t crash into the 21‑day 8:30 cutoff. > exhibit prep, service, and witness scheduling don’t collide — anyone else adjusting workflows for this? For — agreed; pulling witness calls up a week and freezing exhibits at 25 days solved most of it — are you on Acrobat or Kofax?
Best under-3 hr win for iTero 5D/aligners was a PACE-approved team webinar on Viva Learning; we left with a scan order we laminated and this script that lands: “Aligners in 22 hrs — out only to eat/brush; let’s set two alarms now.” If that’s booked, Align’s iTero portal has short assistant modules too: https://www.itero.com. Want the scan order we use?
Piggybacking on @brianna_92, the fastest lift for iTero 5D + aligner coaching was a 2‑hr AGD/PACE on Catapult Education; we now show TimeLapse/NIRI at delivery and use: ‘22 hours a day — only out to eat and brush; chewies 5 minutes after each reinsert.’ If you’re heavy Invisalign, Align’s iTero Live trainings are solid too, but some dates aren’t PACE-approved.
What moved the needle for us was standardizing a scan path: lower first, toggle NIRI to sweep contacts, then TimeLapse + Outcome Simulator before the doc sits so you can coach while it renders. At delivery we say, “Aim for 22 hours — if you miss more than 4 in a day, add a day before switching,” which cut refinements. > heavy Invisalign, Align’s iTero Live trainings are solid too, but some dates aren’t PACE-approved. Agree — check https://www.cezoom.com with the PACE filter or ask your rep for AGD-listed dates; want the one-page scan order we laminated?
