SUMMARY:CA300/1 - Advanced Clear Aligner Orthodontic Therapy with Emphasis on Class II Cases
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Dr Barry Winnick \n\n\n\nSince the first clear aligner comprehensive orthodontic therapy (CAT) was introduced in 1998\, rapid progress has been made with the use of this appliance system. Worldwide\, more adults are receiving orthodontic therapy than ever before\, and this is being credited to the use of sequential clear aligners. More companies are developing aligner systems\, and this in turn should lead to even more technical advancements. Complicated malocclusions and skeletal dysplasia are now being treated with sequential aligners for both adults and teenagers. The aligner may look quite simple but it is a very sophisticated bio-force appliance and\, though never completely replacing a fixed multi-bracket technique\, is now an integral part of current orthodontic treatment.By the end of the seminar\, the participant will understand the diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for orthodontic cases utilizing sequential clear aligner therapy for the following situations: \n\n\n\n\nClass II malocclusions for both adults and teenagers\n\n\n\nDeep bite cases\n\n\n\nExtraction cases\n\n\n\nAppropriate use of Carriere Motion Appliance in early treatment for distalization and potential mandibular advancement\n\n\n\nProblem-solving finishing cases\n\n\n\nRetentionBy the end of the course\, the participant will understand the bio-force similarities between the traditional multi-bracket and sequential clear aligner systems as well as those cases that are appropriate for sequential clear aligner therapy and those for traditional multi-bracket technique.There will be emphasis and review on proper orthodontic records and a detailed review of cases that the lecturer has completed.

SUMMARY:CA400 - Treating Complex Orthodontic Cases with Clear Aligners
DESCRIPTION:Class II malocclusions represent one of the most frequent scenarios in which treatment with Clear Aligners can become challenging related to both number of trays needed and patient compliance. Correcting the AP at the beginning of treatment\, when patients are most compliant\, provides greater efficiencies\, shorter treatment times\, and long-term stability. This course will provide clinical evidence to support the many benefits of this Hybrid Approach when treating complex Aligner cases. \n\n\n\nUpon completion of this course the participant will demonstrate the ability to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the benefits of obtaining a Class I Platform prior to clear aligner treatment\n\n\n\nExpand the number of Aligner cases treated and reduce the amount of interproximal reduction needed in most Class II cases\n\n\n\nRecognize the many advantages related to a Hybrid treatment plan

SUMMARY:T348 - The Diagnosis and Effective Treatment of TMJ Dysfunction
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Grant Bowbeer \n\n\n\n\n\nThe major cause of almost all TMJ dysfunction is an over closed vertical dimension causing excess pressure in the TMJ fossae when the teeth are in occlusion. This is usually due to the inadequate eruption of the lower posterior teeth.This course will examine effective TMJ diagnosis and TMJ treatment protocol. These treatment techniques will allow the rapid relief of TMJ symptoms within 6-8 weeks and usually a permanent relief of the entire TMJ problem within 4 to 12 months.This method of treating TMJ dysfunction works no matter how long the patient has had a TMJ dysfunction problem or how many previous splints they have had.Both the Diagnostic and Treatment method will be discussed in detail including determining proper mandibular position\, splint construction\, and the important patient instructions that must be followed exactly as given!

SUMMARY:AM402 - Biomechanics in Everyday Orthodontics
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Jim Prittinen \n\n\n\n\n\nThe goal of this course is to present a mechanics system with emphasis on techniques that lead to treatment efficiency. Sequencing of treatment using the USDI protocol will be emphasized in this course not only when this protocol can be strictly adhered to\, but also when deviations from the protocol are necessary. The goal of the course is not to present a “cookbook approach” to orthodontics but instead the goal is to enable the participant to understand what needs to be corrected at each stage of treatment.Efficient treatment starts with good bracket positioning. In this course\, the participant will learn why differential bracket positioning is the most important part of improving treatment efficiency.Efficiency can also be improved by choosing the correct wire progression based upon individual case characteristics. Some patients need a long and involved wire progression\, while others can be treated with a very minimal wire progression. By taking this course\, the participant will discover which cases need complex wire progressions and which ones do not.Basic mechanics for class II correction and class III correction\, as well as for extraction mechanics will also be presented. Additionally\, early treatment mechanics designed to improve efficiency will also be explored. Finally\, a simple and effective set of finishing mechanics will also be demonstrated.Upon completion of this course\, the participant will understand: \n\n\n\n\nVarious treatment techniques resulting in efficient Orthodontic treatment\n\n\n\nAt what stage of treatment certain aspects of malocclusion should be corrected\n\n\n\nHow to identify the reasons why treatment often take longer than anticipated as well as how to avoid those situations.

SUMMARY:CA300/1 - Advanced Clear Aligner Orthodontic Therapy with Emphasis on Class II Cases
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dr. Barry Winnick \n\n\n\n\n\nSince the first clear aligner comprehensive orthodontic therapy (CAT) was introduced in 1998\, rapid progress has been made with the use of this appliance system. Worldwide\, more adults are receiving orthodontic therapy than ever before\, and this is being credited to the use of sequential clear aligners. More companies are developing aligner systems\, and this in turn should lead to even more technical advancements. Complicated malocclusions and skeletal dysplasia are now being treated with sequential aligners for both adults and teenagers. The aligner may look quite simple but it is a very sophisticated bio-force appliance and\, though never completely replacing a fixed multi-bracket technique\, is now an integral part of current orthodontic treatment.By the end of the seminar\, the participant will understand the diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for orthodontic cases utilizing sequential clear aligner therapy for the following situations: \n\n\n\n\nClass II malocclusions for both adults and teenagers\n\n\n\nDeep bite cases\n\n\n\nExtraction cases\n\n\n\nAppropriate use of Carriere Motion Appliance in early treatment for distalization and potential mandibular advancement\n\n\n\nProblem-solving finishing cases\n\n\n\nRetentionBy the end of the course\, the participant will understand the bio-force similarities between the traditional multi-bracket and sequential clear aligner systems.
