European Orthodontic Online Forum. Advanced protocols and innovative orthodontic practice

Advanced protocols and innovative methods in orthodontics are presented in the online version of the European Orthodontic Forum, where high standards of treatment are combined with a high level of expertise!

During the program, you will explore the most relevant topics in modern orthodontics:

— Biomechanics of orthodontic treatment
— Aligner therapy for open bite
— Aligners + skeletal anchorage
— Orthodontic treatment of patients with TMJ disorders
— Use of cantilevers for the treatment of impacted canines

You will attend lectures by outstanding experts who share exclusively clinical, experience-based content—practical recommendations, real clinical cases, and an evidence-based approach that can be directly applied in daily orthodontic practice.

Lesson 1. Principles and biomechanics of open bite treatment with aligners

— Advantages of treating open bite with aligners compared to traditional braces
— Common misconceptions in planning open bite treatment with aligners
— Biomechanics of open bite treatment using aligners
— Various evidence-based treatment planning strategies
— Diagnostic and treatment planning errors in open bite cases
— Evidence-based approaches to open bite correction
— Tooth movement sequencing to achieve optimal results
— Use of auxiliary resources in complex cases
— Protocols for treating complex cases with aligners and skeletal anchorage
— Clinical case analysis

Lesson 2. Orthodontic treatment of patients with TMJ disorders

— Principles of orthodontic treatment for patients with TMJ disorders
— Analysis of the TMJ and biomechanics of mandibular movement
— Splint therapy in orthodontic treatment
— Biomechanics of orthodontic treatment in patients with TMJ disorders

Lesson 3. Splint therapy: clinical application in orthodontic patients

— When and why splint therapy is indicated
— Integration with orthodontic treatment
— Types of splints:

• Occlusal splints: stabilizing, repositioning, and functional

• Selection criteria based on the clinical situation

— Clinical application:

• Combining splint therapy with orthodontic biomechanics

• Monitoring treatment progress and adjusting the treatment plan

Lesson 4. Cantilevers: successful treatment of impacted canines

— Overview of impacted canine treatment cases and clinical challenges
— Clinical advantages and potential of cantilevers
— Why cantilevers are more effective than elastic traction for treating impacted canines

Lesson 5. Clinical protocols for the use of cantilevers

— Indications for using cantilevers in clinical practice
— Fundamental principles of cantilever biomechanics
— Step-by-step cantilever bending techniques
— How to avoid common biomechanical errors
— Clinical case analysis
