M6: Advanced Bio-mechanics

• Advanced biomechanics to understand force systems from different bracket wire geometries and risk assessment appropriate to treatment planning.
• Anchorage and how it applies to orthodontic tooth movement
• Detailed understanding of VTO and how it impacts on planning treatment
• Management of class 1 malocclusions non-extraction and extraction
• Management of class 2 malocclusions non-extraction and extraction
• Bracket position and torque modifications and different auxiliaries based on proposed tooth movements
• Digital Finishing wires

Hands on component

Following the completion of this 2.5-day program, the participant will understand advanced biomechanics to allow them to prepare themselves for difficult malocclusions and more importantly to treat every patient in the most efficient manner with appropriate treatment planning. There will be a detailed analysis of anchorage and utilisation of the Virtual Treatment Objective (VTO)to provide better planning for their patients. With this module, both non-extraction and extraction cases will be treatment planned and the management of these cases in the most efficient manner will be discussed in detail.
