So if we can put aligners to the side for a couple of minutes, it's the fact what can we do put it to be with fixed appliances with other types of appliances. And the truth is, there's nothing which is 100% predictable. So we've got to start off with a golden truth that is not 100% predictable as a science.\n\n\n\nJaz\u2019s Introduction:\xa0Like with all things in dentistry, case selection is so, so, important and we all know that orthodontics, including aligners has a very steep learning curve. That\u2019s why in this episode, I brought Dr. Farooq Ahmed to talk all about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of aligner treatment. I mean, I wish I had something like this when I was starting align treatment because it helps you to get more efficient treatment. I mean, I made a few mistakes, nothing serious, but it gives you that magic word which is PREDICTABILITY. That\u2019s what we want in all our treatments. And in particular with aligners.Hello, Protruserati, I\u2019m Jaz Gulati and welcome to this final episode of STRAIGHTPRIL. I hope you found this month interesting and stimulating and it\u2019s going to help you with your future orthodontic cases. I want to also take this opportunity to apologize to you for not emailing you guys like usually I did my newsletter full of the episode, I started off by doing a per episode. So now I do like a roundup of some of the bigger episodes. So maybe I\u2019ll do one for straightpril, all the orthodontic series in one email.But emailing has been very difficult for me because I\u2019ve moved house, it\u2019s officially happened. It\u2019s been a roller coaster, I\u2019m sure any of you who have moved before will be able to relate with me. It\u2019s been funny, I moved back from Singapore, back to the UK in 2017. I lived with my parents, it was nice living in a very traditional Indian household.During the pandemic, it was brilliant to have six of us including my son living in the same household. I think as a bubble during the pandemic that was really special. I think I\u2019ll cherish those memories for the rest of my life. But I think it\u2019s time to now flee the nest. So we have our own space now. And it comes with its own challenges of childcare before I just give a shout out to my parents and have some more free time to do this kind of stuff, but I don\u2019t have as much time anymore. But that\u2019s fine. That\u2019s the beauty of being a father beauty of having a family and everything just has to fit around that right?So before we join the main episode, we\u2019re going to look at the main things that make aligner treatment predictable, which kind of movements are favorable, which ones are unpredictable, and how to program your clinchecks to overcome that.Protrusive Dental PearlNow before we get to that with Farooq Ahmed, I\u2019m going to share the Protrusive Dental Pearl which is a retention one following on for that awesome episode with Dr.
