PROGRAM

Day-1

Topic 1: Advanced Mechanics for Class 2 Treatment

– Simple and continuous light force system for Class 2 correction using bite turbos, Class 2 elastics, and infrazygomatic crest (IZC) screws
– Application of modern bracket and wire designs to enhance torque control and facilitate space closure in Class 2 treatment
– Integration of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) with aligner or fixed mechanics to improve efficiency and predictability in managing severe Class 2 malocclusions.

Topic 2: Advanced Mechanics for Class 3 Treatment

– The role of extra-alveolar buccal shelf (BS) screws in providing stable anchorage for the conservative treatment of skeletal Class 3 malocclusion
– Advances in bracket and wire design to enhance torque control and facilitate space closure in challenging class 3 cases
– Integration of buccal shelf (BS) screws and 3D lever arms with modern appliance systems to effectively manage severe Class 3 cases without surgery.

Topic 3: Hot Tips for Impaction Treatment

– Challenges associated with maxillary and mandibular impactions in orthodontics
– Application of minimally invasive techniques, such as VISTA, for the treatment of impacted upper and lower incisors and canines
– Advantages of using VISTA in preserving gingival tissue and reducing treatment duration
– Strategies for achieving precise and efficient outcomes in complex.

Topic 4: Challenging Cases Made Easy with Screws: 6 Key Application Principles

– Identification of the FOUR key anatomical sites (IZC, buccal shelf, incisor region, and ramus) for miniscrew placement and their clinical indications
– Six innovative principles of miniscrew applications for managing sagittal, vertical, and transverse discrepancies, as well as complex impactions
– Protocols of miniscrew-based mechanics to improve treatment outcomes in complex orthodontic cases, including:

- Whole-arch distalization
- Posterior intrusion
- Crossbite correction
- Impacted tooth traction.

Day-2

Topic 1: Advanced Mechanics with Aligners

– TADs for challenging tooth movements such as forced eruption, mesialization, and molar uprighting in aligner therapy
– Application of TADs at different stages of aligner treatment to manage impactions and other complex movements
– Protocols for designing treatment plans that leverage the complementary strengths of aligners (pushing) and TADs (pulling) to simplify complex orthodontic cases.

Topic 2: Class 2 Treatment Mechanics with Aligners

– How to diagnose Class 2 malocclusion and evaluate mandibular growth potential to guide treatment planning
– Indications, biomechanics, and limitations of the FOUR Class 2 treatment designs:

- Class 2 elastics
- Infrazygomatic crest (IZC) screws
- Mandibular advancement (MA) devices
- MA combined with IZC screws.

– Selection and application of the most appropriate Class 2 mechanics in aligner therapy to achieve predictable treatment outcomes.

Topic 3: Class 3 Treatment Mechanics with Aligners

– The role of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in facilitating complex tooth movements during aligner treatment
– Application of TADs to perform bodily movements such as forced eruption and mesialization that are difficult to achieve with aligners alone
– Use of TADs in cases requiring molar uprighting and impaction management
– Combining aligners and TADs for optimal treatment outcomes.

Topic 4: Q&A — Braces, Aligners, Screws.
