About
This AGD-approved course is designed for dentists who have completed 0–20 clear aligner cases or any general dentists looking to expand their practice with more high-end procedures.
This program will give you the confidence and expertise to integrate clear aligners successfully.

By the end of this course, you will have the skills to confidently treat mild to moderate orthodontic cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are not Invisalign, so you will still need to complete onboarding requirements with your chosen provider, such as Invisalign, ClearCorrect, or SureSmile. Their course will not teach you how to prescribe clear aligners as an orthodontic treatment, only how to place orders with them.
Our course, created by Dr. Ameen, is designed to teach dentists how to prescribe clear aligners as an orthodontic treatment. We equip your entire team with the knowledge and skills to provide a complete Invisalign experience for your patients, from managing inquiries to monitoring treatment and mastering Invisalign software
Our course will provide you with 24 CE points, enabling you to offer clear aligners in your practice. However, to officially provide clear aligner treatments, you will still need to sign up with your chosen provider and fulfill their onboarding requirements. While our course equips you with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently offer clear aligners as an orthodontic treatment, the accreditation process is handled by the provider.
The Invisalign “Tier Level” is determined by the number of Invisalign cases you complete in a calendar year. For example, a dentist must complete at least 25 cases in a year to achieve the Gold provider level. Once you’ve completed our course, you can immediately start booking patients and offering Invisalign.
With our training and support, it is possible to achieve higher levels, such as Gold or even Platinum (60 cases in a given year). Your dedication and the number of cases you handle will determine your tier level.
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring your team members along to maximize the benefits of our course. We recommend inviting a Dental Assistant, Dental Hygienist, and Receptionist to fully leverage everything we offer. The cost of the course includes up to three staff members per Dentist.
No, the cost of the course includes up to three staff members. However, if you wish to bring additional staff members beyond the included limit, there is an additional fee of $250 per extra staff member.
No, dentists are required to attend all three days of the course, while staff members attend for two days.
No, your experience will be the same whether you bring staff or not. The inclusion of staff is a bonus if you want your whole team to receive training. Typically, those who do not own their own practices may not bring staff.
Our lead facilitator is Dr. A. Ameen Al-Obaidi. He is an experienced dentist and an Invisalign Preferred Provider who has completed over 500 Invisalign cases in the past six years. Dr. Ameen is accompanied by his dental staff from his four practices who will teach your staff about the operational aspects of offering clear aligners. Our instructors include Tara Tulloch (Office Management), Courtney Burtoo (Dental Assistant), and Lisa Ajuja (Hygienist).
If your partner is also a Dentist, they would be considered a separate participant and required to pay their own registration fee. However, between the two of you, you could invite up to six support staff members (three each) at no additional cost.
Yes, absolutely! Dr. Ameen, with his extensive experience and successful practices, provides mentoring for dentists who are developing new skills or looking to grow their practices. You will receive guidance and support as you handle your initial cases in clear aligner treatment.
