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 Сlass 2 and Сlass 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 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.
