Correction of Anterior open bite with Clear Aligners - concepts and strategies

Synopsis

Correcting anterior open bite (AOB) malocclusion poses a significant challenge for orthodontists, given the difficulty in achieving occlusal correction, potential dissatisfaction with facial aesthetics, and high likelihood of relapse. This course gives an overview of AOB clinical approaches and shows real-life examples of combining orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery.

 

Participants will gain a deep understanding of orthodontics techniques with Clear Aligners , with a focus on correcting anterior open bite (AOB) in orthodontic treatment. The course discusses open bite cases with a description of the etiology, treatment strategies and low level light therapy (PBM) to treat the open bite.

 

By attending this course, orthodontic professionals will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to maximize treatment outcomes and expand treatment options.

 

 

Learning objectives

●      Develop efficient treatment objectives for open bite cases.

●     Familiarize themselves with the latest trends in open bite correction.

●     Compare and contrast classic vs. modern approaches to both malocclusions.

●     Analyze the treatment outcomes from an evidence-based perspective.

●      Understand the characteristics and advantages of Accelerated Orthodontics  in orthodontic treatment.

 

State-of-the-art dental treatment using PBM- Introduction to LLLT/Photobiomodulation for pain free dentistry that patients long for.

(​​Dr. Alan Kwong Hing will explain the science of photobiomodulation and contribute his articles were chosen to appear in Dental Asia and he joined Advisory Board. )

Synopsis

This training course is primarily intended for treating dentistry occlusion with Photobiomodulation (PBM Therapy) previously known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).

By attending this course, participants will gain a deep understanding of PBM’s mechanism of action, clinical effects, and treatment methods.

This training will cover laser fundamentals, safety, and their effects on bone and soft/hard tissue. It also delves into physiological changes and clinical outcomes using peer-reviewed papers and actual clinical cases.

Orthodontic professionals will learn how to maximize treatment outcomes and expand treatment options by using light and lasers in this course.

 

Learning objectives

●     Understand the characteristics and advantages of PBM(LLLT therapy) in orthodontic treatment.

●      Formulating effective treatment plans and communicating the benefits and risks of PBM in orthodontic treatments.

●     Practical guidance for usage of PBM for your dental practice

●      Provide case discussions and best practices for application of PBM

●     Analyze the treatment outcomes from an evidence-based perspective.
