Instructor: Dr. Viet Nghiem This Structural Screening course will review the various propensities for the disruptive factors of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction in prospective orthodontic patients.The objective of this course is to show each attendee, in the absence of telltale symptoms, how to recognize particular signs by using “Structural Screening” to eliminate those unwanted and serious complications that often occur during or after orthodontic treatment.

Instructor: Dr. Jim Prittinen

Instructor: Dr Ralph Garcia This course will review the concepts discussed in the TMJ Therapy Comprehensive Introduction Course. The use of the head pain and temporomandibular joint examination form will be demonstrated as well as the interpretation of x-rays, tomograms and MRIs. The use of sonography, electromyography and jaw tracking and how they relate to the TMD patient will be examined. The treatment guidelines for determining splint position will be covered in detail. Ancillary treatment modalities as well as finishing techniques will also be discussed.

Instructor: Dr. Jim Prittinen The 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 [...]
