Course overview

The outstanding Benedict Wilmes, Kee-Joon Lee and Chris Chang will tell you about lifehacks and tricks in working with microimplants!
This is a unique course, which will present an analysis of the most important issues of modern orthodontics using microimplants:
-Treat complex cases with a powerful combination of self-ligation system and miniscrews;
-Non-compliant upper molar distalization with different mechanics using palatal mini-implants;
-Non-compliant upper molar mesialization using palatal mini-implants and the Mesialslider appliance;
-Orthodontics before orthopedics using microimplants;
-Treatment of transversal discrepancies of the maxilla and class III malocclusions using skeletal anchorage;
-Molar uprighting using miniscrews
