Description:
Designed for the orthodontic practitioner who has completed the Basic Course or who has a working knowledge of straightwire orthodontics, the Intermediate Straightwire Course is a three-session series that will increase your orthodontic skills and education. While the Basic Straightwire Course equips students to treat 70% to 80% of patients, the Intermediate Course will equip you to strategize and treat the remaining cases right from your general or pediatric practice.
In each dynamic three-day session, Dr. Bradford R. Williams, D.D.S., will facilitate two days of hands-on clinical lectures and a half-day of case reviews for your current or prospective orthodontic cases. By the end of this three-session series, you’ll know:
• How to diagnose and treat Class III malocclusion
• How to bend and torque archwires
• When to distalize, reposition, or extract permanent molars
• How to close spaces for extractions
What is Straight Wire Orthodontics?
Straight wire orthodontics utilizes straight wire appliances to strategically move teeth into their desired location using straight wire brackets and a series of pre-shaped archwires. Once flexed to fit into the bracket slots, the archwire will gradually return to its original shape and reposition bracketed teeth. Archwires are progressively changed until the desired occlusion is achieved. Along with providing consistent results, straight wire orthodontics requires little to no archwire bending and a shorter overall chair and treatment time for your patients.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
