The Six Month Smiles Aligner courses are more than just a 1-Day course or e-course that teach you how to treat patients with Aligners. It's a gateway to greater things:

• Learn advanced aligner treatment and techniques. Improve your hands-on skills for carrying out IPR and bonding attachments. (Live courses only)
• Join a community of thousands of GP's like you, who are interested in providing the best care for their patients.
• Expanded opportunities to learn more about guided orthodontics via the free webinars and resources available upon training.
• Seamlessly transition into offering clear braces or mixed appliances (invisible aligners on the top arch, clear braces on the bottom arch).
• Submit Aligner cases to Six Month Smiles and enjoy free clinical support.

If you are a Six Month Smiles Provider who has already completed our legacy 2-Day Level 1 course, it isn't required for you to complete the Aligner course to begin treating your patients with aligners. However, we highly recommend completing one of our aligner courses to become comfortable with the scope of our aligner system and know all the features that make our aligner products unique. Another great benefit is your ability to diagnose and troubleshoot problems will also improve.

If you have completed our Braces 1-Day Live Course or our Braces e-Course, you would be required to complete one of our Aligner courses, either our 1-Day Live Course or our e-Course, to begin treating patients with Six Month Smiles aligners.

As always, if you have additional questions, please feel free to chat with us or email us at courses@sixmonthsmiles.com.

 While it is not neccessary for your staff to attend a course, Six Month Smiles strongly recommends having your team trained on the system. The most successful Six Month Smiles Providers have had their team trained and are able to delegate some of the Six Month Smiles tasks. In addition, it will make your team more comfortable about talking with your patients about Six Month Smiles and helps with seamlessly integrating Six Month Smiles into your practice.

Yes, after completing either our Aligner Live 1-Day or Aligner e-Course, you will be able to start treating your patients with our Invisible Aligner system. If you are interested in treating your patients with Clear Braces or Mixed Appliances (Invisible Aligners on the top arch and Clear Braces on the lower arch) you would need to complete one of our Braces Courses as well.

Upon completing a Six Month Smiles Course, you will have full access to our Provider Resource Center. To submit a case, you will log into the Provider Resource Center and click on the "Submit a Case" button. This will prompt you to complete the patient's prescription, upload photos, and indicate how you will be sending impressions (digital or physical). Once we receive the impressions and the completed prescription, we will begin processing your case!

For all live on-location courses offered by 6MS, the following cancellation policy applies:

We know you will make every effort to attend the course, but if for some reason you can't, simply notify us 14 business days prior to the first day of the course and we will transfer you to another course at no charge. You can select another course to attend within 1 year from the original course date you selected.

If on the rare occasion (mostly likely due to weather) 6MS needs to cancel a course you may opt for either a full refund or transfer to another course. The course will not be cancelled if we are able to start by 1PM on the course date.

The following applies to live on-location courses and e-Courses:

6MS Courses and e-Courses are non-refundable. Course fees will be charged in USD and 6MS is not responsible for any foreign currency exchange fees. The 6MS courses and e-Courses cannot be transferred to another dentist. 6MS reserves the right to change the course venue location, instructor, or pricing without notice.

If you are a Six Month Smiles Provider who has already completed our Legacy course, the 2-Day Level 1 Course, it isn't required for you to complete the Aligner course to begin treating your patients with aligners. You already have the short-term orthodontic principles learned from our Level 1 Course. If you have completed our Braces 1-Day Live Course or our Braces e-Course, you would be required to complete one of our Aligner courses, either our 1-Day Live Course or our e-Course to begin treating patients with aligners.

While we are "grand fathering" you to be able to submit aligner cases, based on a self-assessment of your confidence with aligners, we encourage you to take the aligner on-line or aligner one-day course.

As always, if you have additional questions, please feel free to chat with us or email us at courses@sixmonthsmiles.com.

Included with this course:

• Access to online pre-Course modules including orthodontic fundaments
• Live instructor-led learning on topics such as patient selection & treatment planning, aligner delivery, monitoring & troubleshooting, and retention
• Hands-on instruction for interproximal reduction and bonding attachments
• Dentist case review with Instructor
• Earn 8 CE/eCPD credits for attending the live session PLUS earn additional CE/eCPD credits for completing online modules
• After attending the live course, you'll receive free access to online e-Course modules to rewatch at any time PLUS all the benefits of being a Six Month Smiles Provider including:
  • Ongoing, free clinical support (includes case selection, mid-treatment, and finishing)
  • Access to our complete Knowledge Base with whitepapers, articles, videos, and marketing materials
  • Free practice listing on our patient website
  • Free marketing materials for your practice

Both courses will teach you everything you need to know to treat patients with aligners. The main difference between the live course and e-Course is the hands-on element and cohort learning environment. The 1-Day course is taught via live instruction with a group of your peers. You'll receive live hands-on instruction and case reviews with the Instructor. The e-Course is designed for those doctors who are looking to get started quickly and don't need or want the live hands-on instruction. With the e-Course, you can complete the training material is as little as 3 hours. The Live 1-Day course is 8 hours on a pre-scheduled date and location. Both options provide the same training content, just taught differently to fit your needs.

No, we offer these courses separately. This allows you to choose live or online for one or both of the courses. For example, if you feel more confident with aligners than braces, you can register for the Aligner e-Course and the Braces Live 1-Day course for the additional hands-on learning. Our courses are sold seperately so you can choose the combination that works best for you!

While both courses have overlaps in clinical content and patient selection, the two appliances have significant differences that merit teaching them via a separate course.
