Description
This course presents a comprehensive clinical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of growing patients, combining modern orthodontics, dentofacial orthopedics, growth modification, and digital treatment planning.
During the course, you will learn about:
— Growth modification and dentofacial orthopedics in growing patients
— Maxillary expansion with different appliances and miniscrews
— HAS (Hybrid Appliance System) and its clinical protocols
— Digital diagnosis, treatment planning, and appliance workflows
— Management of Class 2, Class 3, anterior open bite, and maxillary constriction
— Eruption Proprioception Guides (EPG) within the HAS technique
— Functional and fixed appliances for early correction
— Evidence-based clinical decision-making and treatment planning
— Step-by-step analysis of clinical cases and treatment protocols.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
— Assess growing patients and identify the key factors influencing treatment planning
— Select appropriate functional, orthopedic, fixed, and expansion appliances according to the clinical situation
— Apply evidence-based protocols for growth modification and dentofacial orthopedic correction
— Integrate HAS protocols, digital workflows, and EPG into treatment planning
— Make more predictable clinical decisions based on growth, skeletal development, eruption, and functional factors.
