Most orthodontic practitioners have been taught that tooth movement is primarily determined by the shape of the archwire. This thinking has resulted in many unexpected side-effects Orthodontists have looked at Lingual Arches, Prescription Brackets, Non-Compliant laboratory appliances, etc. as solutions. This four-day course will provide an understanding of mechanics at the clinical level unlike anything that has been taught.
It will be shown that correct force systems can be predetermined by an approach that avoids "visualizing" outcomes based on archwire shape. Once understood, the orthodontic practitioner will discover that many rewards are provided with such an understanding, including, minimal patient cooperation, control of occlusal planes, effective treatment for asymmetrical problems, complete elimination of crossbite elastics, simplified appliances, avoidance of permanent retention following diastema closures, treatment to the patients' transverse dimensions, unique approach to open bite closures, etc. The orthodontic practitioner might even have a totally different attitude toward today's popular prescription brackets. You are not required to change your bracket preference in order to apply the mechanics discussed. However, you will discover you have a clear choice in the appliance(s) you utilize.
You should return to your office with a newly founded excitement for what you do.
