Finishing in Orthodontics: Aesthetics in the Details

Finishing in Orthodontics: Aesthetics in the Details is organized by OHI-S.

Total Lecture Time: 7h 05 min

Description:
A course on finishing and detailing in orthodontics - a stage of treatment that will distinct your work as an orthodontist and increases your value to the patient! The lecturer is a leading specialist in the field of biomechanics in orthodontics, Dr. Kleber Meireles.

In 5 lessons, you will learn the protocols of:

• performing facial analysis and smile analysis
• positioning of brackets
• bending
• fixing braces.

Lesson 1. Diagnosis and treatment planning – Facial Analysis

– Hierarchy of diagnosis: facial analysis, occlusal analysis, and cephalometric analysis 

– The importance of facial analysis: classifying ?lass 2 and ?lass 3 malocclusion

– Facial type. Face driven treatment planning

– Profile analysis. Frontal and profile view

– The relationship between retraction and nasolabial angle

– Managing the template of facial analysis.

Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.

Lesson 2.Diagnosis and treatment planning – Smile Analysis

– Analysis of the teeth: 

- Microesthetics: color, shape, dimensions and proportions 

- Miniesthetics: smile dynamics 

- Bolton discrepancy 

- Macro Analysis of the smile

- Vertical parameters

- Transversal parameters.

– The lip to teeth relationship 

– The smile: Mona Lisa smile, social smile, complex smile 

– The social media smile 

– Arch cant and smile correction 

– The smile arch 

– Extrusion bends for smile arch 

– Buccal corridors 

– Clinical cases.

Recommended for: Orthodontists, General dentists.

Lesson 3. Finishing in orthodontics: height and angulation

– ?lass 2 and Class 3 treatment: ?entralization of brackets and tubes

– Height and angulation

– Changing the brackets height in special cases

– Real torque: 

- Definition 

- Neutral torque

- Negative real torque

- Positive real torque.

– Relative torque: 

- Definition

- Positive relative torque.

– Managing torques during space closure and distalization. Torque loss control in en-masse retraction 

– Real and relative torque of posterior teeth

– Individual torque

– Detailing and teeth alignment assessment 

– Clinical cases.
