What You Will Learn...
2-Day Didactic Program (Days 1 & 2):
Build confidence with deep understanding
This comprehensive two-day course offers an in-depth exploration of skeletal anchorage in orthodontics, guiding participants from foundational principles to advanced clinical applications. The program focuses on temporary anchorage devices (TADs), including both mini-implants and mini-plates, and highlights their biomechanical advantages and integration into modern orthodontic treatment.
Participants will gain a solid understanding of TAD insertion techniques and the clinical decision-making behind various insertion sites. The course also emphasizes contemporary treatment workflows, detailing the transition from analog to fully digital planning and CAD/CAM-supported appliance design.
Lectures will cover a wide range of clinical indications in both the maxilla and mandible, including molar distalization and mesialization, vertical control through molar intrusion, management of impacted teeth, rapid maxillary expansion (RME), Class III correction, and pre-surgical as well as pre-prosthodontic treatment strategies. Special attention will be given to the synergistic use of clear aligners and skeletal anchorage in complex cases.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the theoretical knowledge to implement skeletal anchorage techniques effectively and understand their role in expanding the limits of orthodontic treatment.

Optional Day 3: Hands-On Lab Master real-world placement with guided practice - Sold Out
** Must have attended the 2 day Didactic program
(Limited to 25 Clinicians)
By the end of the course, attendees will have gained hands-on experience with the most relevant clinical tools and protocols, empowering them to immediately integrate skeletal anchorage confidently into their daily practice.
Experience a Practical Journey through Skeletal Anchorage in Orthodontics.
This course offers an immersive, practice-oriented exploration of skeletal anchorage in orthodontics, with a strong focus on the clinical application of theoretical knowledge.
Designed for orthodontic professionals eager to enhance their skills, the program centers on temporary anchorage devices (TADs)—particularly mini-implants—and their effective use in modern treatment protocols.
Participants will work extensively with a variety of Mini-Implants and learn key insertion techniques through guided hands-on modules, covering both palatal and mandibular applications. In addition to placement protocols, practical exercises include the construction and adjustment of mini-implant supported mechanics for sagittal tooth-movements, intrusion, and the vertical control of impacted teeth and tipped molars
