PRESENTED BY DR. SERCAN AKYALCIN

 

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2021

8:00AM - 3:00PM

CATEGORY 2 - 6 CE POINTS


Course Outline:
Without sound objectives and proper treatment planning mechanics, the functional and aesthetic needs of the patients could easily be overlooked in orthodontic malocclusions. While cephalometric analyses help provide a rough estimate of skeletal and dental relationships, treatment goals need to be developed accordingly with the face and ultimate position of the incisors. In essence, the primary key to success is to optimize the direction and amount of tooth movement required within each arch quadrant per the patients' anatomy, function, and aesthetic. In this presentation, aesthetic and functional challenges of orthodontics patients will be demonstrated using case examples while addressing the infamous controversies such as expansion and tooth extractions.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of the course the clinician will be able to:

  1. Appreciate critical factors for success in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
  2. Recognize the importance of planned tooth movement and anchorage strategies in orthodontic cases.
  3. Distinguish the differences between extraction and non-extraction cases.
  4. Compare and contrast alternative approaches for maxillary expansion.
  5. Obtain a working knowledge of facial esthetics-oriented treatment planning.
