- Select in the simulation bar below the aligner number that the patient is supposed to go into next. This stage should be marked in red on the bar. Now you can move the simulation around to see on which teeth you need to remove the buttons (the light blue cutout window will disappear on one or multiple teeth when compared with the previous aligner number.)

6. Write clinical notes and update Visit status
Click on “Mark Complete” and add any notes to the Office Visit if any of the planned actions could not be done as planned (e.g. could not remove attachment on tooth #…).
Make sure that you checked all the to-do list and dismiss the patient.
