About the Course: After performing orthodontic treatment, most general practitioners realize that it is not so easy to simply place preadjusted brackets & inserting nickel titanium wires and get results. Although some cases literally fall into place, many patients require a lot of effort and lot of knowledge to finish occlusion. To overcome this challenge, the family dentist needs to broaden the scope of his practice to include more of interceptive treatment of malocclusions in children. This scope will also enlighten the dentist for their adult patients as well.
.

It is in view of such needs that this specific, well-organized program has been developed. This one-year program allows for concisely organized presentations that will allow the participants to expand their knowledge of orthodontics through the use of what is felt to be the most innovative and successful form of orthodontics the straight Wire System. Another plus will be Functional Orthopedic Appliances. The straight wire philosophy and the functional philosophy of orthodontics results in real facial change resulting in beautiful faces and smiles. Functional orthodontics-orthopedic appliances can aid tremendously in treating the muscular imbalances and skeletal problems in Class II malocclusions. And our extensive course teaches you all of it !
