Ponder an unbelievable thought: that it’s possible to understand, enjoy and actually be entertained by the clinical application of basic engineering principles. Yes, those murky physical science doctrines we use for tooth movement can be deciphered to clarity. Consider that allowing the brackets and arch wires to make corrective and independent decisions is not a treatment axiom.
For this seminar, our attention will focus on a unique hands-on and simplified approach to understanding applied clinical orthodontic physical science: moments, forces, couples, moments of forces, moments of couples and their equilibrium. In addition to a number of educators, recognition is due Dr. Robert Isaacson for the development of these clinically useful materials and methods.
This educational, informative and entertaining presentation will provide simplified answers to clinically complex questions.
Learning objectives:
• Why are some deep overbites easy to correct and others exceptionally difficult or impossible to resolve?
• How the “Angle of Wire Entry” has a profound influence on treatment response and treatment time.
• How additive and subtractive forces work for and against shorter treatment times (hands-on participation).
• Reversing the Curve of Spee: why it works well in some patients and not all in others (hands-on participation).
• Feeling smart, cool, and confident in today’s ultra competitive market
