Course Overview

Discover the Key Tooth Movements for Adult Orthodontics Success!

THIS COURSE OFFERS A DIFFERENTIAL OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE OR CONSOLIDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN ORTHODONTIC BIOMECHANICS:

  • The lectures are interactive and didactic.
  • The mechanical and biological basis are approached in a scientific and creative way.
  • Simulations in typodont and studies with finite elements allow visualization of dental movements in the three planes of space.
  • If you are at the beginning or middle of your specialist training, this course will be one of your greatest guides to understanding any appliance or orthodontic technique, especially those needed for complex cases solving.
  • If you are an experienced orthodontist, you can update yourself on the fundamentals of scientific biomechanics, which are part of our clinical life on a permanent basis.
  • Explore essential tooth movements, including molar uprighting, molar protraction, molar expansion, molar derotation, anterior intrusion, three-piece mechanics, and more, as we guide you through the art and science of orthodontic biomechanics!
