Even the most experienced clinicians will gain insights that can be immediately applied in their daily practice.

Course Topics:

• Pros and cons of using aligners in growing patients.
• Timing of interventions: phase 1, phase 2 or one-phase treatment.
• Principles of craniofacial growth. Differences between growing and adult patients.
• Etiology of malocclusions.
• Treatment goals of early treatment (mixed dentition) and regular treatment (full permanent dentition). 
• How to perform a proper diagnosis. Role of the different diagnostic records.
• Protocols for the development of transverse dimension.
• Protocols for the management of the vertical dimension.
• Protocols for the management of sagittal problems: indications and limits of aligners.
• Retention and how to manage the transition from mixed to permanent dentition.
• How to manage impacted teeth

Clear Aligner Treatment of Complex Adult Patient’s Malocclusions

The course will be focused on complex adult patients treated with and without auxiliaries, hybrid aligner treatment and the use of skeletal anchorage. The course will start with the diagnostic workflow and the management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). 

Furthermore, the expansion of limits of clear aligners will be addressed by means of the use of braces sectionals, power arms, cantilevers and other auxiliaries. 

The speaker will explain basic concepts regarding anchorage and a general introduction to different TADs and TAD positioning. The use of mini-screws for different malocclusion will be presented, with special regard to appliances for palatal expansion.

Course Topics:

• Diagnostic workflow in Adult patients. How to manage periodontal disease and TMD problems.
• The role of auxiliaries in aligner treatments.
• Biomechanics of elastics and auxiliaries.
• Introduction to mini-screws
• Clinical uses of inter radicular mini-screws.
• Extra-alveolar mini-screws.
• Introduction to palatal anchorage.
• Clinical uses of palatal anchorage on transverse, vertical and sagittal malocclusions.
• MARPE vs SARPE.
• Failures and troubleshooting when using skeletal anchorage.

This course will be held in English.
