International Experience of Treatment With the DAMON System. Independent Information

International Experience of Treatment With the DAMON System. Independent Information is organized by OHI-S.

Total lecture time: 10 h 41 min

Description:
A course on methods of treatment of common malocclusion pathologies using Damon protocols.

During the training, you will learn:

• Detailed protocols for the treatment of Class 2, Class 3, deep, open and crossbite, teeth impaction, gummy smile
• Protocols for the use of bite planes
• Features of the use of light elastics for the treatment of malocclusions in the sagittal, vertical, transversal plane
• Criteria for torque selection in various clinical cases
• Methods of occlusal cant correction
• Important finishing tips for esthetic results during orthodontic treatment
• The use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in the treatment of adult orthodontic cases.

Lesson 1.Non-standard mechanics of working with Damon System

– Experience with the Damon System: how to improve method efficiency and not be afraid to apply non-standard solutions?

– The first steps after bonding - effective leveling, early elastics, additional chains, disarticulation

– Segmented technique - simple but complex

– Working with auxiliary slots and auxiliary wires when working with Damon Q. Ballista, intrusion arch, various cantilevers

– Occlusal cant correction - correction and camouflage methods.

Recommended for: Orthodontists.

Lesson 2.Torque selection: theory and practice in various clinical ?ases

– What is torque and inclination 

– The geometry of the bracket slot and wires

– Torque loss: geometric, power, deformation and planar

– Damon Q and Damon Q2 prescription

– The concept of torque values: super, standard, low

– Types of teeth movement

– Torque selection in various clinical cases: crowding, dystopia, retention, adentia of lateral incisors, gummy smile, open bite, class 2/3, distalization

– Extreme Torque Values, Damon expansion of the prescription

– Interchangeable Damon braces

– Biomechanics of torque

– Torque selection in cases with/without extraction.

Recommended for: Orthodontists.

Lesson 3.The use of passive self-ligation Damon System in the treatment of difficult adult orthodontic cases

– The incorporation of extraction and non-extraction therapy in the treatment of adult orthodontic cases

– The use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in the treatment of adult orthodontic cases

– The concept of re-opening extraction spaces in previously treated adult cases to provide improved facial aesthetics

– Torque application in adult orthodontic cases

– Appliance construction for adult orthodontic cases

– Wire progression protocols in adult extraction and non-extraction orthodontic cases

– Camouflaging the biology of Class 2 and Class 2 skeletal cases to prevent surgical correction.

Recommended for: Orthodontists.

Lesson 4.Finishing Details in Orthodontics; The Hard and Soft Tissue Contour

– Important finishing tips for esthetic results during orthodontic treatment

– Setting our cases up for optimal esthetic success

– Creating beautiful arch width and symmetry

– Hard tissue contouring during treatment

– What must be done

– Soft tissue contour and gingivectomy

– Hard tissue contour after debond

– These are amazing tips and tricks to elevate cases to a new level and create a powerful brand.

Recommended for: Orthodontists.

Lesson 5.Integrated Straight Wire, bite planes and light elastics approach

– The braces bonding planning

– Benefits of using anterior bite planes

– Indications and contraindications for the use of bite planes

– Protocol for the selection of bite planes

– ?onditions for use of bite planes

– Positioning:

- Anterior bite planes

- Posterior bite planes

- Tripodic bite planes

- Quadrapodic bite planes.

– Features of the use of light elastics for the treatment of malocclusions in the sagittal, vertical, transversal plane

– Treatment of complex clinical cases using elastics and bite planes.

Recommended for: Orthodontists.
