Biomechanics in orthodontic fixed therapy: seminar by Giorgio Fiorelli. "Standard" option

Biomechanics is the foundation of orthodontic treatment. With a solid understanding of biomechanical principles, the doctor can provide treatment in an optimal timeframe for the patient. This leads to time savings for both the doctor and the patient, high efficiency in the orthodontist's work, and a reduction in the risks of complications associated with orthodontic treatment.

We invite you to a 2-day seminar with Dr. Giorgio Fiorelli that will revolutionize your understanding of orthodontic treatment mechanics!

Giorgio Fiorelli is the pioneer of modern orthodontic biomechanics and the leading lecturer in this field across Europe.

Through in-depth theory and analysis of numerous clinical cases, you will master a new approach to biomechanics that will help you overcome the limitations of traditional orthodontics.

During the course, you will:

– Understand the forces behind every tooth movement
– Optimize anchorage without unnecessary skeletal interventions
– Master cantilever mechanics for precise, controlled movements
– Design custom mechanics for complex cases.

Join us and take your orthodontic expertise to the next level!

You will master biomechanics at a level that will be valuable for every orthodontist, even if you do not work exclusively within this concept.

IMPORTANT: the “Seminar. Comfort”, “Seminar. VIP” and “Hands-on workshop” participation options are also available for purchase.

Advantages of the “Seminar. Standard” participation option:

– Participation in the scientific program
– Coffee break
– Notes and handouts
– Certificate of participation
– ADA credits available upon request.

PROGRAM

Day 1, theoretical part

– Why it is important to have deep knowledge of biomechanics?
– The limits of standard protocol therapies, and the need for custom mechanics design
– The 5 pillars: 

- Treatment goal
- Required force system
- Anchorage evaluation
- Stage definition
- Appliance design. 

– How this sequence can help build a better appliance for your patients
– Essential biomechanics concepts of dental movements: how movement relates to a force system. A very short introduction to the fundamentals of mechanics
– Anchorage management: how to evaluate anchorage needs and increase anchorage without using TADs. When is skeletal anchorage needed, and what is the best approach for it?
– Cantilever mechanics: creative and predictable mechanics that can be used for various clinical problems.

Day 2, theoretical part

– Cantilever mechanics: continuation of creative and predictable mechanics applicable to different clinical challenges
– Statically indeterminate mechanics: 

- Understanding how the wire/bracket system works and its limitations
- The biomechanics of alignment.

– The segmented arch approach: 

- Working with segments or a single archwire
- Active and reactive units
- The use of palatal and lingual arches.
