SPITZ AN DER DONAU | 5-6 JUNE 2026

An Exclusive Invitation for Graduates of the 2-Year Orthodontics Program

A Course for Those Who Have Already Arrived

This Alumni Advanced Update Course is reserved for a select group of orthodontists who have completed the 2-Year Orthodontics Program – Modern Digital Orthodontics: Quality and Efficiency.

It is not an introduction.

It is not a repetition.

It is refinement.

Set in the heart of the Wachau vineyards, this 2-day gathering brings together experienced clinicians for an advanced clinical exchange at the highest level — far away from congress halls, distractions, and routine.

Here, orthodontics is discussed from clinician to clinician, in an atmosphere of calm focus, discretion, and excellence.

Course focus:

• Advanced diagnosis and treatment planning in complex cases
• Efficiency strategies for modern orthodontic practice
• Straight-wire mechanics beyond standard protocols
• Hands-on new features in OnyxCeph.
• Managing compromises, limitations, and long-term stability
• Finishing, retention, and relapse prevention at an expert level
• Peer-to-peer case discussion with colleagues who share the same foundation

The course builds upon the shared philosophy and language developed during the 2-year program and takes it one step further — toward maturity, precision, and clinical confidence.

Program overview

DAY 1 (Friday 5 June 2026) Precision, Planning & Perspective

Advanced Diagnosis & Digital Decision-Making

Refining treatment goals. Balancing stability, aesthetics, and feasibility. Advanced digital workflows using contemporary imaging and planning tools.

Evening

To begin the evening, I welcome the participants with an aperitif of exquisite Wachau white wines overlooking the vineyards—so the experience continues after the event. Evening dinner dedicated to exchange, reflection, and collegial conversation.
