COURSE TOPICS
AUXILIARY WIRES; FROM MODELING TO BIOMECHANICS
This course includes theory-based training, clinical case presentations, hands-on exercises on typodonts and live demonstations with patients.Each lecture will be broken up into an initial theoretical introduction and a subsequent practical session. After the course participants will be able to simplify and solve complex cases applying properly orthodontic biomechanics and how to model and activate correctly auxiliary appliances for challenging orthodontic movements. We will learn how to manage properly difficult impacted canines,transpositions and trasmigrations,asymmetrical cases,canting of occlusal plane,incisors and molars intrusion without miniscrews,canine and premolar root uprighting,huge derotations, mesialization and distalization of posterior teeth, incisors bodily advancement and retraction,palatal root torque correction of ectopic teeth,molar uprighting with and without intrusion, ”en masse” closure of extraction spaces and how to solve other similar difficult clinical situations.
AGENDA
