Skeletal Anchorage in Orthodontics: Digital Technologies and the Optimal Combination of Aligners and Mini-Implants Seminar & Practical Course

Skeletal Anchorage in Orthodontics: Digital Technologies and the Optimal Combination of Aligners and Mini-Implants Seminar & Practical Course is organized by OHI-S and will be held from Feb 19 - 20, 2027 in Warsaw, Mazovia, Poland.

Program:
This seminar will focus on the modern possibilities of skeletal anchorage and its integration with digital orthodontic protocols. Participants will learn how mini-implants enable effective anchorage control, expanded clinical options, and predictable treatment outcomes.

The lecturer will be Benedict Wilmes, a legendary physician who sets the direction for the development of modern orthodontics in the West and is actively shaping its future!

Key Seminar Topics:
– Optimal mini-implant insertion zones
– Skeletal anchorage and anchorage control
– Combining mini-implants and aligners
– Mesialization, distalization, intrusion, and retraction
– Bringing impacted teeth into the arch
– Virtual planning and digital protocols.

This course provides a modern perspective on skeletal anchorage as an advanced control tool that expands the orthodontist's options and increases treatment predictability.

Program:

Theoretical part:

– Optimal insertion zones for mini-implants: anterior palate and mental region vs. alveolar ridge
– Skeletal anchorage as a method to prevent anchorage loss and minimize adverse effects associated with the use of intermaxillary elastics
– Integration of digital technologies: virtual planning, surgical templates, CAD/CAM, and 3D printing
– Combining mini-implants and aligners to achieve predictable root movement of teeth
– Rationale for the use of mini-implants in orthodontic practice
– CAD/CAM versus traditional protocol
– Mini-implants with abutments
–Distalization of upper molars
– Mesialization of upper molars
– En-masse retraction
– Rapid palatal expansion and early treatment of mesial overbite
– Molar uprighting
– Molar intrusion
– Bringing impacted teeth into the arch
– Temporary pontics using mini-implants.

Practical part:
