SUMMARY:D319 - Retention & Finishing of Cases
DESCRIPTION:This course will cover the retention and finishing stages of treatment. One of the most rewarding achievements in orthodontics is the ability to finish a case to the satisfaction of both the practitioner and the patient Achieving this goal can sometimes be elusive for both experienced and inexperienced practitioners. The participants will learn the fixed appliance discipline required to achieve outstanding finishing results as well a variety of retention protocols.The two primary goals of this course are:• To help Doctors develop the expertise that is necessary to diagnose\, treatment plan\, and then establish efficient mechanics case finishing.• To give Doctors a solid understanding on retention theory and how to set up a solid retention protocol in their practice.An overview of basic diagnosis and treatment planning will also be presented since these are the building blocks of effective case finishing

SUMMARY:T348 - The Diagnosis and Effective Treatment of TMJ Dysfunction
DESCRIPTION:The 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.\nThis 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.\nThis 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.\nBoth 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: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 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:WEBINAR - Class II Correction With Clear Aligners
DESCRIPTION:The demand for clear aligner therapy is huge and growing rapidly.  Clear aligner technology has improved significantly in the recent past\, however\, there remains limitations to the aligner-only treatment approach. A-P correction with clear aligners alone is still a clinical challenge. Having tried and failed\, Dr. McFarlane no longer relies on only aligners to provide Class II correction. Instead\, he uses the Motion 3D™ to provide fast and predictable Class II correction along with clear aligners. This webinar will explore the when\, why and how of hybrid Class II correction with clear aligners. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the limitations of Class II correction with clear aligner\n\n\n\nLearn how to select cases for combination treatment with Motion 3D and clear aligners\n\n\n\nReview the biomechanics of combining the Motion 3D Appliance with clear aligners\n\n\n\nUnderstand how to integrate a hybrid treatment approach into your practice for fast and efficient results

SUMMARY:CA300/2 - Advanced Clear Aligner Treatment with Emphasis on Class II Deep Bite Cases   and Differential Distalization of Maxillary Molars
DESCRIPTION:Since the first Clear Aligner comprehensive orthodontic appliance 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 will lead to even more technical advancements. Complicated malocclusions and skeletal dysplasia are now being treated with sequential Aligners for both adults and teenagers. These Aligners may look quite simple\, but they are a very sophisticated bio-force appliance.  Clear Aligners are now an integral part of current orthodontic treatment. \n\n\n\nBy the end of the seminar\, the participant will understand the diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for orthodontic cases utilizing Clear Aligner treatment 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\nDifferential Distalization of Maxillary Molars\n\n\n\nProblem-solving finishing cases\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of the course\, the participant will understand the bio-force similarities between the traditional multi-bracket and sequential clear aligner systems.

SUMMARY:C302 - USDI Contemporary Cephalometric Analysis
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Viet Ngheim \n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a Cephalometric course which includes a detailed evaluation of the definitions of landmarks\, tracing of head plates\, and a review of Steiner and the USDI’s systems of analysis. A brief history of cephalometrics\, structures of the skull and landmarks will also be discussed.  Constructing the USDI analysis and the measurements needed will be examined. Model analysis which is the first and foremost adjunct to Cephalometrics will also be reviewed.  Measurements are performed on models of each case to determine the Arch Form\, Arch Width and Arch Depth.  The arch form is assessed as Roman (IDEAL)\, Gothic or Truncated.  The arch width and the arch depth is then measured.  Each value is compared to IDEAL for an individual patient using the appropriate forms to compile the information.  These are the first steps in the DIAGNOSIS of a case. \n\n\n\nAfter the completion of this course the Participant will understand: \n\n\n\nThe importance of cephalometrics analysisBasic Orthodontic cephalometrics classifications and definitionsModel analysis\, Arch Form\, Arch Width and Arch Depth definitions and measurements

SUMMARY:D319 - Retention & Finishing of Cases
DESCRIPTION:This course will cover the retention and finishing stages of treatment. One of the most rewarding achievements in orthodontics is the ability to finish a case to the satisfaction of both the practitioner and the patient Achieving this goal can sometimes be elusive for both experienced and inexperienced practitioners. The participants will learn the fixed appliance discipline required to achieve outstanding finishing results as well a variety of retention protocols.The two primary goals of this course are:• To help Doctors develop the expertise that is necessary to diagnose\, treatment plan\, and then establish efficient mechanics case finishing.• To give Doctors a solid understanding on retention theory and how to set up a solid retention protocol in their practice.An overview of basic diagnosis and treatment planning will also be presented since these are the building blocks of effective case finishing.

SUMMARY:T348 - The Diagnosis and Effective Treatment of TMJ Dysfunction
DESCRIPTION:The 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!
