Charlie meets Charlie – Fixed appliances in aligners time – Part 1

About This Event

Studies on the predictability of aligner treatment have shown that various tooth movements remain best performed only with fixed orthodontic therapy. Wire bending is still needed. This is the first of 3 hands-on meetings (each 3 days long) that will provide the basic theoretical and practical knowledge according to Charles Tweed‘s and Charlie Burstone‘s segmented arch approaches through the use of typodonts. Day 1 An Introduction to Tweed's Philosophy and Biomechanics; Wire bending: omega loop stop, closing loop, helical boulbusloop, step in, step out, coordinated archwires; The orders, 1st order. Diagnosis and treatment plan, part 1; Case reports. Day 2 The orders, 2nd and 3rd order. Wire bending: standard torque, passive torque, single torque, step up, step down, anchoragepreparation, artistic bends, uprighting bends. Case reports. Day 3 Treatment of a class I malocclusion with extraction of the first four premolars. Set#1: denture preparation. Set#2: denture correction. Set#3: finishing. Wire bending: set#1, 2 and 3 of wires on 3D typodonts and related case reports.
