Invisalign ClinCheck Tips for General Dentists: Case Selection & Open Bites | Dr. Corey Anolik

How does a general dentist go from moving one tooth half a millimeter to programming thousands of ClinChecks? Dr. Corey Anolik, an Align Treatment Planning Service (TPS) provider, explains how to pick predictable aligner cases, what TPS actually is, how to avoid posterior open bites, and why treating to function makes treatment easy to explain.

In this episode:

- The patient who made him start doing Invisalign

- What happens behind the curtain with TPS ClinChecks

- Why Align can't set up your case for you (it's your lab)

- Using an iTero scan and Invisalign Go assessment to judge a case

- "There are no easy cases, only predictable ones"

- Why outsourcing ClinChecks is a freedom unlock, not a failure

- Clinical tip: leave anterior clearance to avoid posterior open bites

- Showing patients the "why" and treating to a functional endpoint

Plus dental news: a $900,000 embezzlement case, why redheads are harder to numb, and Delta Dental's fee for paper checks.

Dr. Corey Anolik is a general dentist who practices with his father, completed a hospital-based residency in Philadelphia, and lectures on clear aligners and ClinCheck treatment planning for general dentists.
