The Math

Believe you can get at least one aligner patient in your chair? Then the USD $2,880 tuition pays for itself with a single new start.

Taught by a leading expert

Learn from a board-certified orthodontist, textbook author, and pioneer in aligner technology. Dr. Tai lectures worldwide on clear aligners and has offered her mini-residency since 2016.

Excellent value

A cost-effective way to earn 30 CE credits and get the tools to increase production at your practice — you'll recover the course fee by treating a single aligner patient.

Comprehensive training

One of the few orthodontic courses open to both dentists and orthodontists — learn to accurately diagnose and safely treat a range of malocclusions, with proficiency in advanced ClinCheck® techniques.

0⁺

Doctors from more than 60 countries have taken Dr. Tai's online aligner training — and since Aligner Resources began in 2016, thousands more have learned through her live courses, lectures, and webinars.

“Each module is referenced beautifully in Dr. Tai's text, and the attached PDFs were much appreciated. I particularly enjoyed the ClinCheck sessions and found them most informative. I cannot recommend this mini-residency enough — a must for anyone wanting to incorporate Invisalign into their practice.”

Questions

Frequently asked

Yes — this is one of the few comprehensive online orthodontic courses for general dentists and orthodontic specialists alike. While Invisalign® certification is encouraged, it's not necessary.

No. Although all clinical cases presented are treated with Invisalign® clear aligners, the principles of tooth movement discussed — diagnosis, treatment planning, biomechanics, anchorage — apply to orthodontics in general, and to treating patients with other aligner systems.

A recognition by the Academy of General Dentistry for Continuing Education credits — meaning you may submit CE credits earned to your licensing body for approval. In many countries a number of CE credits are required for license renewal. Note that live online webinars fall under the category of live courses rather than self-learning.

You can post discussion questions within the course learning platform, where fellow participants respond in a public forum. For private questions, you can email Dr. Tai personally.

At the end of each module there's a five-question quiz based on that module's learning outcomes — answer 3 of 5 correctly to move on (you can re-watch and retake as needed). Upon completing the program, you'll be emailed a PDF certificate of successful completion, which you may use to apply for CE credits with your dental licensing authority.

You get access to the full course as soon as you register — proceed entirely at your own pace, with 12 months of access from your start date. Begin with the “Welcome to the course” video, which shows you how to navigate the platform, then work through the modules, download the PDF notes, and take each quiz to earn your CE credits.
