Three Year Orthodontic Program: Orthodontics related to Function, Occlusion and the Cranio-Mandibular System
Starting: March 13 - 16, 2024
Course Overview
This Occlusion and Orthodontic program is addressed to general dentists who have realized that orthodontics has become a fundamental cornerstone of their restorative/prosthetic practice or want to add orthodontics to their interdisciplinary treatment offerings.
This Occlusion and Orthodontic program is also addressed to orthodontists who are looking for treatment alternatives to orthognathic surgery, premolar extractions, extra-oral forces and for new treatment options for malocclusions with dysfunction.
The IDEA Occlusion and Orthodontic Program is based on the research and clinic of Profes. Sadao Sato, Japan and Rudolf Slavicek, Austria. It is based on studying and understanding nature’s approach in functional, healthy, and stable dentitions.
Experience the Paradigm shift to Occlusion and Orthodontics of the 21st Century
This 3-year Orthodontic Program goes way beyond just orthodontics. It teaches Modern Occlusion and Function which applies to any dental discipline and patient treatment. This program is beneficial for every patient of your practice.
It will teach you the foundation of stable dentistry and orthodontics:
Advanced, evidenced-based Occlusion and Dynamics
Modern Understanding of:
– TMJ
– Functional Role of the Maxillofacial Complex
– Growth and Development
– Development and treatment of Malocclusion and TMJ dysfunction (TMD)
Applying this knowledge and skills will be beneficial to all patients of your practice, not just orthodontic patients.
“Sato-Orthodontics” – Orthodontics of the 21st Century
Why “Sato-Orthodontics”?
Traditional orthodontics is treating teeth as if they would be independent structural units. This approach works in some cases. In many cases challenges occur already during treatment or shortly after the treatment is finished. When patients stop wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment, many cases relapse. Patients start to observe tooth migration, feel interferences, bites are opening, or patients experience physical symptoms, like TMD, migraine, and so on. The number of dysfunctional patients is significantly rising in dental practices. More dental treatment options and increasing life stress brought increasing dental problems. In this context, Prof. Sato’s Orthodontic concept stands out as a unique treatment option since this concept can achieve treatment results which cannot be achieved with traditional orthodontics or any other dental discipline.The IDEA Orthodontic Program is a true career and practice changer
What is different in “Sato-Orthodontics” compared to any other orthodontic concept?
Early in his career, Prof. Sato faced his own orthodontic failures and relapses. This made him realize that another approach in orthodontics is necessary to achieve predictable longevity. Significant research was triggered.
Prof. Sato’s approach takes into consideration not only mandibular movement, function, but also the adaptative capacity of mandibular position and joints. His concept is based on functional principles and applies the natural principle of mandibular adaption in human growth to orthodontic treatment.
Based on functional diagnostics combined with powerful mechanics, his concept obtains stable results through etiological therapy rather than structural treatment. Therefore, Prof. Sato’s concept can achieve treatment results, which cannot be achieved with traditional orthodontic approaches, such as:

Orthodontics as just esthetic treatment is a lost battle
There is clear evidence that esthetic problems are not just local dental problems. Esthetic concerns are most of the time the visible result of a more complex “situation”.
Orthodontics is the most powerful technique in dentistry
With orthodontics, you can achieve improvements in the functional, esthetic, and physical condition of your patients, which cannot be archived with any other dental treatment, at least no so easily and not so atraumatic.
Orthodontics is the foundation of dental treatment
In the 1970’s the dental community accepted periodontics as a necessary foundation in dentistry. Today in modern dentistry of minimally invasive atraumatic treatment, orthodontics became another foundation of dental treatment. Based on solid diagnostics, orthodontic treatment should precede extensive restorative or implant treatment
Orthodontics is 100% occlusion treatment
Orthodontics is always full mouth rehabilitation.
Orthodontics is a complex intervention of the masticatory system and the entire human body. Therefore the craniomandibular system, occlusion and function must be understood.
Orthodontics which achieves results which cannot be achieved with traditional orthodontic concepts, like:

The 3 year orthodontic program is the most exciting part of my training on this concept. Once you receive and digest the information about this treatment approach the 3 year ortho program clears up all the dust and the amount of information we get is mind blowing and extremely exciting.
