Vital Orthodontics for Dentists
Presented by Dr Eric Lowenhaupt
International Speaker
New Program
Session 1: Getting Started
Dates: 2nd – 4th July 2010
The course begins with information on basic diagnosis, case
selection and treatment planning. Emphasis will be placed on thorough
record examination and cephalametric analysis, and their role in making
informed treatment decisions.
The effects of orthodontic treatment on facial aesthetics and balance
will be discussed as well as the basics of cranial facial growth and
development. Banding and bonding will be discussed and participants will
have the opportunity to place bands and brackets on the orthodontic
typodont. Initial wire placement and ligation techniques will be
demonstrated.
Hands-on exercises include:
- Cephalometric analysis
- Bonding (bracket placement exercise)
- Mechanics (wire placement & technique)
Session 2: Class I Survey &
Biomechanics
Dates: 3rd – 5th September 2010
This portion of the course will address specific information on
treatment timing issues, when to treat and when not to treat. Phase 1
and interceptive treatment modalities and arch development will be
discussed. Class I crowded cases with expansion mechanics/appliances and
their adjustment will be covered. Participants will then begin a
detailed study of basic orthodontic biomechanics. Intrusion and
advancing arch wire fabrication and placement with various ligation
techniques will be demonstrated. Participants will also begin the
discussion of Class II diagnosis and treatment.
Hands-on exercises include:
- Advancing utility arches
- Intrusion utility arches (fabrication & adjustments)
- Molar uprighting springs (mechanics)
Session 3: Class II and Class III Survey
Extractions
Dates: 26th - 28th November 2010
Module 3 addresses Class II and Class III considerations and treatment
modalities, exploring both orthopedic and orthodontic movements.
Topics to be covered include Class II correction in mixed &
permanent dentition, (including various molar distalising techniques
– fixed & removable), archwire selection, sequencing, elastic
wear & set-up, adjunctive intrusion techniques, with particular
attention to second and third order bends (tipping and torque).
Hands-on exercises include:
- Torquing arches
- Second order bends
- Cervical headgear placement & adjustment
- Various Class II correctors & their adjustment
Session 4: Extraction Mechanics, Finishing,
Detailing and Aesthetic Considerations
Dates: 11th – 13th February 2011
This session begins with extraction mechanics and their timing as well
as focus on the all important topic of finishing and detailing. Included
is discussion on the use of elastics and segmented arches for finishing,
intraoral adjustments for efficiency, troubleshooting difficult cases
and debanding.
Aesthetic considerations, ortho-prosthodontic cases, retainer design and
adjustments will also be covered including placement of fixed
retainers.
Hands-on exercises include:
- Artistic bends
- Finishing and detailing techniques
- Finishing elastics
- Retainer adjustments
- Multiple finishing techniques demonstrated
