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.
