A hands-on participation course

This course is designed for the general practitioner interested in integrating basic tooth movement principles into their daily practice. Participants will be provided with an overview and practical knowledge of all facets of tooth movement with both fixed and removable appliances. Understanding and basic training in the diagnosis and treatment planning of malocclusions will be stressed.

Management for these patients will include the information and training necessary to be able to efficiently use a wide variety of modern state-of-the-art appliances. Proper recognition and management of problems in the developing dentition will be detailed.



Issues covered will include:

• Biology of tooth movement
• Diagnosis and clinical evaluation
• Cephalometrics
• Facial esthetics
• Differential treatment planning
• Digital Workflow Platform

The scope of the course will include intensive hands-on participation with state-of-the-art typodonts that simulate actual tooth movement with a series of interactive models to follow all of the steps to correct a full malocclusion. Flexible models with special shape memory material, removable teeth and the exact brackets and molar bands used in the technique.

Topics included will emphasize:

• Early treatment for the younger patient
• Extraction and non-extraction treatment
• Adult treatment methodology using fixed appliances and clear aligner treatment
• Diagnosis and treatment planning for implants
• Management of Class II and Class III patients
• Finishing treatment protocol and retention

Participants will learn precision bracket placement techniques and molar banding, archwire selection and fabrication. Contemporary mechanics using light continuous force systems will be discussed in detail. The use of the newer temperature activated shape memory archwires will be explored. Sufficient selection of the instruments and materials necessary to
carry out treatment will be included in the course kit.

Upon completion of the sequence, the general practitioner will have developed the skills necessary to recognize and successfully treat a wide variety of tooth movement situations in a predictable and efficient manner. This will be accomplished by the integration of actual cases from the participant’s own offices. Over the series you will be encouraged to bring diagnostic records of your own patient’s to the course. We will treatment plan and design the appliances necessary to carry out successful and efficient protocols for these patients.
