How many CPD hours will attendees receive?Attendees will receive fourteen (14) hours of Continued Professional Development. Will the event have food catering?Yes, the event will be catered with food and drink and is included in the ticket price. The event will be catered for morning tea, buffet lunch and afternoon tea. Who can attend the course? The course is best suited to clinicians who are currently using clear aligners as well as those who want to begin using clear aligners. Auxiliary staff including OHT, dental assistants and admin may also find some aspects of the course beneficial. The event is advertised as being Australia’s first impartial clear aligner symposium. What does impartial mean? For a long time, any kind of aligner education has been specific to a certain system. The sole aim of this symposium is to openly educate about clear aligners, and not a specific brand. This concept is best demonstrated through a dental example.In endodontics, some practitioners are interested in learning, say, the “ProTaper” system, whereas some practitioners are interested in learning the core principles of endodontics. They are interested in learning how to use certain techniques to achieve their desired result and how to integrate them into their practice. Additionally, when attending specific system based training, some presenters may be muted due to the nature of the course.

Depending on your involvement in clear aligners, it may or may not surprise to know there are more than one hundred clear aligner manufacturers in the world. It may also surprise you that the fundamental concepts of treatment remains the same for all clear aligners.

We strongly believe that the clear aligner market will continue to grow at an exponential rate and the time is now to learn about clear aligners: what they can do, what they can’t do, biomechanics, how to implement them in your practice and how to succeed in the field.

All aligner companies being used in Australia will be invited to have a booth at the symposium trade-show room but under no circumstance whatsoever will there be financial or other influence as to what is said and presented at this event by any clear aligner company.

We have worked extremely hard to secure the very best, educational and engaging speakers in the field to present at oursymposium. Each clinician invited to speak about aligners comes with enriched knowledge from their case experiences, which means they have a wealth of knowledge about aligners and are ready to share it with us. If a speaker has an affiliation with any company or product, will we find out? Yes, ACAS2019 has a completely transparent and open disclosure policy for all speakers and any affiliation (financial or other) will be commented at the start of the speakers’ talk.

The Australasian Clear Aligner Society (ACAS) was created from an impartial group of like minded individuals that believe the aligner industry is changing. The only way to ensure we can provide completely honest education was to remain impartial to any clear aligner brand. That way, you can rest assured knowing that everything that is presented is without financial (or other) influence.

We want this to be a membership for anyone interested or currently using clear aligners. Our society is a support network for clinicians and provides ongoing education courses and conferences. FEES: Membership is $100+GST/year. We have included complimentary membership in the ACAS2019 ticket.

WHO CAN JOIN? Orthodontists, General Dentists and Oral Health Therapists UPCOMING EVENTS: ACAS2019 is one of many events planned, see our website for regular updates! BENEFITS: Ongoing 10% discount to any ACAS-run courses. And many more benefits to come. CATALOGUE: We are working very hard in the background to secure some impressive deals and discounts with companies and education providers for all members to enjoy. We expect to launch this catalogue of deals in January 2019.
