Orthodontic treatment with mixed dentititon and “successes"

- Biocreative Orthodontic Strategy (BOS) and TAKE ACTION Principles

- Five Essential Biocreative Checklist (Diagnosis, Target Decision, Treatment Tool Selection, Target Tooth/Bone/Soft tissue movement, Finishing & Detailing

- Extraction Treatment Protocol (Archwire Sequence), Nonextraction Treatment Protocol (Archwire Sequence)

- Biocreative Surgical Orthodontics to prevent from Orthognathic Jaw surgery under general anesthesia

- Transverse correction using Tissue bone borne expander and comparison with MSE

A new treatment system called ‘Biocreative Orthodontic Strategy (BOS)’ developed by Dr Kyu-Rhim Chung at 1979 to implement independent target teeth/bone/soft tissue movement while avoiding extending unnecessary orthodontic appliances to non-target segments during the orthodontic treatment period. In BOS, clinicians approaches patients with the following ten key principles: Tripod principle; Airway, a big deal; Keep an eye on growth; E=MC2; Alveolar bone boundaries; Condylar therapeutic position; Target tooth and bone movement; Importance of fewer TADs; Observe tongue posture; No tooth-borne expander for rapid palatal expansion. These principles are called as “TAKE ACTION,” which is an acronym of each principle. In the patients who have anatomic limitation such as root resorption, bone loss, extremely thin alveolar bone around the teeth, various cortical activation methods guarantee the more effective treatment outcomes than conventional methods. In this three hours presentation, I will introduce this “BOS” treatment concept, treatment effects and simple and innovative way for correcting border line orthodontic cases without orthognathic surgery such as severe anterior openbite, occlusal canting, posterior occlusal collapse, and serious anatomic complexity through update scientific researches and excellent case reports. Audience members will learn specific clinical tactics and overall treatment protocols that will broaden their scope of treatment options.

About lecturer

Marco Rosa graduated as Medical Doctor in 1981 then carried out postgraduate studies first in Dentistry, then in Orthodontics. Former President and Active Member of the Angle Society of Europe, he is both the European Board and the Italian Board of Orthodontics certified. He works in private practice, limited to Orthodontics, in Trento, Northern Italy and he is visiting professor at Insubria University - Italy. His primary areas of interest are “Early Treatment: key points and new procedures”, “Space Closure in case of Upper Missing Incisors”, “Ortho-Perio” and “Interdisciplinary Treatment”. Winner of 2016 Dewel Award, he published and regularly lectures internationally about these topics.

About lecturer

Dr. Won Moon is the Thomas R. Bales Endowed Chair in Orthodontics for the orthodontic residency program at UCLA School of Dentistry. He has been a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 2002. He completed his dental education at Harvard and orthodontic education at UCLA.

He studied mathematics prior to dentistry, and his research topics include 3D image analysis utilizing surface mapping functions and Elliptical Fourier’s Descriptors, Genomewide Association Study of Craniofacial Phenotypes, Finite Element Model (FEM) Development and Simulation, Applications of 3D Printing in Orthodontics, Orthopedic Correction, Airway Changes with Orthopedic Corrections, Accelerated Tooth Movement, and Micro-implant (MI) Design study. His work has been published in various journals, not necessarily limited to orthodontics because of his background, and he is a co-author of three textbooks.

He has presented these findings in 24 countries, totaling over 300 presentations. His current focus has been establishing protocols for orthopedic corrections with MI, improving the airway for patients with nasal obstruction, and creating virtual patients utilizing image analysis and FEM.

His interest in mid-facial expansion began in 2004 as micro-implant became available in USA, and he is responsible for developing Maxillary Skeletal Expander (MSE), a unique micro-implant assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE). He has been active in advocating non-surgical skeletal expansion in both children and adult patients, especially for those who may suffer from airway restrictions. His presentation in MSE has been widely accepted internationally, and numerous peer-reviewed publications are available.
