ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME:

International Orthodontic Program for Clinical Excellence

Dear friends,
We are thrilled to present a truly unique and innovative short-term international educational project! Are you looking for a course that enables you to deal immediately and well with every kind of malocclusion and orthodontic challenge? Would you like to learn predictable and reliable treatment protocols from the experience of thousands of treated cases? Do you aim to increase your
knowledge, skills and treatment options while limiting your hardware and practice costs? If your answers to these simple questions are all positive, then this course is for you! This 360-degree orthodontic annual course will provide you with the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic skills to predictably solve your patients’ orthodontic problems without the need for additional expenditure on special technological extras. Our ‘DO MORE WITH LESS’ course with only 5 modules of 2 ½ days each will provide all participants with a solid foundation to master the daily clinical challenges by applying basic biological knowledge, common sense and simple mechanics to reliably achieve excellent results. We will address treatment strategies from childhood to adulthood with different appliances and showcase interceptive and corrective
treatments managed with brain-driven approaches. The course will cover interceptive, adolescent and adult treatment strategies with fixed appliances management, including a hands-on training session for the practical use of modern accessories. In addition, leading top-notch experts will cover growth & development, surgical treatment and clear aligners. During the 5 modules special emphasis will be placed on the presentation and discussion of your cases which will enable immediate application of the newly learnt approaches,
protocols and tools.

The eternal city of Rome, with all its beauty and magic,
will host us for four sessions making not only the sessions
but also the social part unforgettable. And finally, we have
organized a very special winter session in the beautiful
Dolomite mountains! Do not miss this unique event and come and join us in Italy! We are looking forward to share with you all our knowledge
and much more!
