Clinical biomechanics in daily practice

DR. MORTEN LAURSEN

Biomechanics is the science of mechanical laws applied to biological tissue and one of the keys to successful orthodontic treatment.

The course aims to provide knowledge of basic orthodontic biomechanical principles and force systems. Clinical applications of statically determined and undetermined force systems will be explained and presented. The main question will be how to obtain the desired tooth movements of both active and reactive units.

After the course, the participants should be able to estimate force systems produced by orthodontic appliances and have acquired biomechanical knowledge to be used during planning and treatment.
