Bracket design, bracket selection, bracket siting, archwire sequence, archwire shape, and force systems are all critical to success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lesson-meta\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 h 52 min\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"course-lesson\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eJaw Diagnosis, Classification, and Treatment (Elements II-V)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLesson program\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoals for jaw positions in all three dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to diagnose jaw and chin positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA new 3-D positionally-correct classification system for the jaws and chin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreating jaws via orthopedics and\/or orthognathic surgery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciples normal facial growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe limitations of facial growth modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJaw position diagnosis and classification is contingent on the presence of optimal (Element I) arches.
