Orthodontics of Children and Teenagers

Orthodontics of Children and Teenagers is organized by OHI-S.

Total Lecture Time: 15h 10 min

Description:
In a course of 9 online lessons you will learn:

• Step-by-step protocols for maxillary expansion
• Treatment of open bite in mixed dentition
• The use of functional appliances for the treatment of skeletal class 2
• The use of braces for the treatment of class 2 (II subclass)
• Using mini-implants to treat young patients
• Using the 2*4 technique in children
• Detailed protocol for early treatment of impacted teeth
• Using facial skeletal growth prediction.

Lecturers will teach you to take a broader look at already existing familiar approaches to orthodontic treatment of children and adolescents.

Course lecturers – 4 leading orthodontists in Italy, Taiwan, Australia and China – Marco Rosa, Chris Chang, Bakr Rabie and Derek Mahony.
