Protocols for the use of bite planes
Features of the use of light elastics for the treatment of malocclusions in the sagittal, vertical, transversal plane
Criteria for torque selection in various clinical cases
Methods of occlusal cant correction
Important finishing tips for esthetic results during orthodontic treatment
The use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in the treatment of adult orthodontic cases.
Course lessons
Lesson 1. Non-standard mechanics of working with Damon System
Experience with the Damon System: how to improve method efficiency and not be afraid to apply non-standard solutions?
The first steps after bonding - effective leveling, early elastics, additional chains, disarticulation
Segmented technique - simple but complex
Working with auxiliary slots and auxiliary wires when working with Damon Q. Ballista, intrusion arch, various cantilevers
Occlusal cant correction - correction and camouflage methods.
Lesson 2. Torque selection: theory and practice in various clinical сases
What is torque and inclination
The geometry of the bracket slot and wires
Torque loss: geometric, power, deformation and planar
Damon Q and Damon Q2 prescription
