🚨 Clear aligners are reshaping early orthodontic treatment.

A recent article from Orthodontic Products highlights how aligner therapy is expanding into Phase I treatment, giving younger patients more aesthetic, comfortable options — and changing how orthodontic teams support care.

At Trapezio, we believe education should evolve with treatment trends.

✨ That’s why our Academy of Orthodontic Assisting Level 2 course now includes a new lesson on the assistant’s role in clear aligner therapy. This update helps assistants better understand workflows, patient support, and clinical efficiency as aligner treatment continues to grow.

Stay prepared. Stay confident. Stay ahead.

Clear aligners are transforming early interceptive care. Explore how innovations from Align, Angel, Ormco, and uLab are redefining Phase I treatment.

"The insurance training my team member completed last year was excellent—she described it as superb! She's now serving as our insurance coordinator and doing a great job".

Did you know that orthodontic insurance codes are unique from medical and dental codes because they represent a treatment process rather than a procedure or even a specific appliance.

That's why insurance coordinators need to be extremely knowledgeable not just about the insurance submission process, but also need a deep understanding of the orthodontic process and the practice, helping them to better guide patients through the orthodontic treatment process.

Review the learning objectives of Trapezio's Insurance Coordinator Academy training program and discover how it can help your practice to thrive.
