Extractions in Orthodontics: Aligners, Braces, Microimplants, Transpalatal Arches

Extractions in Orthodontics: Aligners, Braces, Microimplants, Transpalatal Arches is organized by OHI-S.

Total Lecture Time: 10h 48 min

Description:
To extract or not to extract, that is the question. And we have prepared a comprehensive answer!

Analysis from A to Z of extraction methods in orthodontic treatment, selection thinking strategies and clinical cases. With the new course you will learn:

• Biomechanics of treatment with extraction
• Protocols for serial tooth extraction and germectomy in mixed dentition
• Protocol for the treatment of class 2 with extraction
• Aligner therapy with extraction
• Features of the use of transpalatal arches (TPA) and their modifications
• Use of double slot bracket
• Lingual orthodontic protocols for space closure.

We invite you to study and close this issue, based on the most modern research and protocols!
