Description
A course on finishing and detailing in orthodontics — a stage of treatment that will distinct your work as an orthodontist and increases your value to the patient! The lecturer is a leading specialist in the field of biomechanics in orthodontics, Dr. Kleber Meireles.
In 5 lessons, you will learn the protocols of:
– performing facial analysis and smile analysis
– positioning of brackets
– bending
– fixing braces.
Lesson 1.Diagnosis and treatment planning – Facial Analysis
– Hierarchy of diagnosis: facial analysis, occlusal analysis, and cephalometric analysis
– The importance of facial analysis: classifying Сlass 2 and Сlass 3 malocclusion
– Facial type. Face driven treatment planning
– Profile analysis. Frontal and profile view
– The relationship between retraction and nasolabial angle
– Managing the template of facial analysis.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.
Lesson 2.Diagnosis and treatment planning – Smile Analysis
– Analysis of the teeth:
- Microesthetics: color, shape, dimensions and proportions
- Miniesthetics: smile dynamics
- Bolton discrepancy
- Macro Analysis of the smile
- Vertical parameters
- Transversal parameters.
– The lip to teeth relationship
– The smile: Mona Lisa smile, social smile, complex smile
– The social media smile
– Arch cant and smile correction
– The smile arch
– Extrusion bends for smile arch
– Buccal corridors
– Clinical cases.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.
Lesson 3.Finishing in orthodontics: height and angulation
– Сlass 2 and Class 3 treatment: сentralization of brackets and tubes
– Height and angulation
– Changing the brackets height in special cases
– Changing the angulations in special cases
– Changing the brackets height in special cases
– Changing the angulations in special cases
– Bonding: rules
– Principles of bracket prescriptions and bracket positioning
– Canine eminence bend
– Gingival margin height: gingival zenith and bracket positioning.
– Clinical cases.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.
Lesson 4.Bends in Orthodontics
– First order bends:
- Inset and offset
- Toe-in and toe-out
- Canine eminence bend
- First order Z-bend.
– Second order bends:
- Step bends.
– Second order Z-bend:
- Levelling loops
- Side effects of second order movements
- Compensating forces of bends
- Clinical cases.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.
Lesson 5.Third Order Bends
– Geometry of rectangular wire
– Bracket geometry
– Real torque:
- Definition
- Neutral torque
- Negative real torque
- Positive real torque.
– Relative torque:
- Definition
- Negative relative torque
- Positive relative torque.
– Managing torques during space closure and distalization. Torque loss control in en-masse retraction
– Real and relative torque of posterior teeth
– Individual torque
– Detailing and teeth alignment assessment
– Clinical cases.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.
