Adult orthodontics is one of the newest, most rewarding areas of general dentistry. This seminar will help you provide considerable added value of comprehensive care to your non-growing patients, while navigating their limitations of extra wear, decay or histories.
The systematic treatment of adult patients is a fairly recent development in orthodontics. Within the past three decades, we have developed a better understanding of tooth movement on the soft and hard tissues, as well as our limitations and opportunities in adult orthodontics. At Seminar 14 you’ll learn how to use orthodontics with periodontics, TMD diagnosis, restorative dentistry and orthognathic surgery to boost your treatment results. You will receive detailed flow charts to help you customize your treatment successfully and systematically.
