SUMMARY:In-Person Course: Clear Aligner and Straight Wire Success Strategies - San Francisco Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Two Days\, Two Techniques: Clear Aligner and Straight Wire Success Strategies is an advanced\, hands-on program designed for clinicians seeking to elevate their treatment outcomes with both aligner therapy and fixed appliances. This intensive two-day course focuses on biomechanics\, clinical problem-solving\, and finishing excellence. Day One explores advanced clear aligner strategies\, including force systems\, attachment design\, complex case management\, and digital treatment planning. Day Two transitions to straight wire techniques\, covering precise bracket placement\, wire bending\, finishing protocols\, and retention planning. Together\, these sessions provide practical\, real-world strategies for mastering challenging cases and achieving predictable\, stable results. \n\n\n\nCourse ObjectivesBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nDevelop malocclusion-specific retention strategies for predictable and lasting outcomes.\n\n\n\nApply biomechanical principles to optimize clear aligner force systems for controlled tooth movement.\n\n\n\nConfidently manage complex movements—extrusions\, intrusions\, molar corrections\, and severe crowding—with aligners and auxiliaries.\n\n\n\nUtilize digital treatment planning software for case setup\, refinement\, and troubleshooting.\n\n\n\nExecute precise bracket placement and recognize when to reposition versus adjust with wire bends.\n\n\n\nPerform first\, second\, and third order bends to achieve artistic finishing and functional Class I occlusion.\n\n\n\nIntegrate elastics\, auxiliaries\, and retention protocols to address common finishing problems and ensure long-term stability.

SUMMARY:AM110 - Advanced Straight Wire Mechanics
DESCRIPTION:INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Jim Prittinen \n\n\n\nThis course will review the theory\, technique\, and efficient application of the straight wire appliance. Expectations and limitations of the appliance are demonstrated\, and adjunctive mechanics are utilized to reach treatment goals of progressive difficulty.Course objectives: the participant in this course will learn to: \n\n\n\n\nAchieve molar control with tip back\, toe in\, and step bends\n\n\n\nManage canted occlusal planes\n\n\n\nDiagnose and manage midline issues\n\n\n\nDiscern when excessive flaring of the incisors will be a problem and understand the steps necessary to help prevent this from happening\n\n\n\nUse TPAs and understand their indications for use
