hey it's dr amanda with straight smile solutions street smile solutions.com and today we're going
to talk about over correctional liners what are they should you use them and who has them
so i put these over correction aligners into two different buckets
one of them and for the most part i'm talking about invisalign just because as far as i know
no one else has published that they have that functionality i'm not saying you can't
have it but invisalign definitely publishes that functionality as a matter of fact they put it into
their preferences so it's something you can ask for on every plan no plans some plans whatever so
i'm going to be referencing invisalign if you use a different aligner company you should ask them
if they have these but in any case i put them into two buckets one of them is virtual power
chain that is one bucket and i'm not even going to go into what that is and how to use it because
i have tons of videos on this already if you want to watch any of the videos on virtual power chain
you can go into my youtube channel which is kind of where you are now but it may not be this might
have just randomly stumbled upon you you need to put in the search bar straight smile solutions
and of course while you're there hit the subscribe button please um and then once you're there you'll
see a green background and then that's my youtube channel it's just should say straight smile
solutions we're an orthodontic consultancy company as well as an orthodontic education
company and then from there you could put by the tiny little magnifying bat glass top right
not in the corner but top right area there'll be a tiny magnifying glass put in the letters v
p c again v as in victor p is in paul c as in car and then you can watch my vpc
over correction videos that stands for virtual power chain yes i do use vpc virtual power chain
there's a time to use it there's a way to use it you need to be careful using it if you use it and
you don't need it you'll have a big mess so you definitely should watch those videos if you're
thinking about using it because i see a lot of people using it wrong and having troubles and it
ends up costing them money to get out of the hole that they've become in i'm the other bucket is
over correction of other things be it rotations of teeth extrusions of teeth alignment of teeth
over correcting over by over correcting overjet that i do not agree with nor do i use however
you can do it um i it makes zero sense to me i've never ever ever ever need it and
also i have like kind of a good eye for stuff because not only have i treated my own cases
i've i work with i don't say how many clients i work with because it changes all the time
but i have a probably there's probably nobody except for maybe the people who work at invisalign
the doctors who work there who've seen as many cases as me because i see so many cases each
day right i may not be touching these cases but i see the outcomes i see the progress i see the
treatment plan so i know what's possible and i feel very very confident in telling you what's
possible with invisalign so i can tell you you can make a treatment plan very very very predictable
why oh why do you want to over correct it makes zero sense to me just do it right the first time
do it correctly now you can't just go with what the technicians say because 99.999 of time it's
not going to happen their treatment plans are bs you have to drive the bus you need to learn to
optimize the treatment plans and the software that they're giving you and or if you're like me you're
lazy you don't want to do it yourself you just tell them what you want i'm paying them nineteen
hundred dollars per setup they need to do what i say i'm not gonna sit there and spend 45 minutes
fiddling around with software i pay somebody to do this that's why i'm paying 1900 a month
i'm going to tell you what i want and how to get there do this do that make this longer it takes me
three minutes to do that 45 minutes and they can spend the time doing it of course they want you to
use their [ __ ] check pro because it saves them money on technicians duh now if they give me like
30 off the lab fee sure i'll learn to do it no problem i already know how to do it i just don't
feel like doing it but that's what i'm trying to get at is that you can make invisalign 100
predictable if you know what you're doing and really only orthodontists know how to do this
i'm sorry but unless you know how to english are exceptional at treating braces cases and
phase one cases you can't drive the bus properly on invisalign you just don't understand it okay
and their technicians are not orthodontists so they don't fully understand it there might be
some people very high level who know how what they're doing but that's not the person you're
working with and you're probably never gonna have access to that person so you need to learn how to
do it right from an orthodontist so that you can have predictable treatment plans because if you're
just always asking them to over treat this over treat that and i see this in moles and galler and
a lot of these engines that you guys supposedly subscribe to nightmares these treatment plans
are terrible you're doing the wrong thing for patients you're getting unpredictable outcomes
that probably will not happen or you're trying to over correct something to make up for that
to compensate for that and you're gonna end up with some funky outcomes and i see it all
the time so i just do it right the first time that's all i gotta say do less do it right so
no i absolutely don't over correct anything else that makes zero sense to me just do it right and
treat it right to begin with and you'll get what you want of course you use chewies do other things
