Biomechanics in orthodontic fixed therapy
A two-day  course in clinical biomechanics.
With option for a third-day  of practical workshop

Ask yourself this question: "During an average orthodontic treatment, which is the maximum dental displacement you perform?"  A reasonable answer would be a couple of millimeters. In complex cases, we have sometimes movements of 4 or 5 mm. Very seldom do we go beyond these values.
Now we know that biologically it is possible to move teeth even at a speed of 1mm per month. Isn't it strange that the average orthodontic treatment is more than 2 years long? Is there an efficiency problem in our appliance mechanics? Biomechanics can help you in getting an answer.
The deep knowledge of biomechanics is an invaluable asset for any orthodontist, since any kind of orthodontic therapy, whatever technique or approach is used, can deeply benefit from it. The knowledge of biomechanics allows for a real understanding of the therapy we perform every day, making our appliance effects predictable and letting us understand the reasons for our possible mistakes. A deep knowledge of biomechanics allows the orthodontist to design specific, tailor-made appliances, which you may need to solve problems with a special degree of difficulty. 

In this course, we would like to introduce you to a new way of seeing and understanding your everyday orthodontic therapy. It can be a first step that can lead you to break many limits you thought impossible to overcome.
