CandidPro™ Podcast

DESCRIPTION
What actually moves teeth with aligners — and what causes cases to go off track? In this episode of CandidTalks, hosts Pat and Sam break down the biomechanics behind clear aligner therapy, revealing the forces, patterns, and principles that separate predictable outcomes from frustrating refinements.
You’ll learn how to:
  • Master push vs. pull mechanics — and why aligners behave differently than braces
  • Control crown tipping and root torque for more stable movements
  • Plan effective anchorage to prevent unwanted reactions and space reopening
  • Avoid posterior open bites through smarter staging and overjet planning
  • Use CandidPro’s orthodontic expertise and ProMonitoring™ to improve predictability in every case
Whether you’re new to aligner therapy or refining your clinical approach, this episode helps you understand the “why” behind tooth movement — and how to harness biomechanics for better, faster, more consistent results.
