From Force Systems to Mandibular Repositioning
Join Dr. Giorgio Fiorelli in Hanoi, Vietnam, for an intensive two-day course on orthodontic biomechanics, custom force design, and mandibular repositioning.
Course Overview
Modern orthodontic practice requires a solid understanding of biomechanics to design individualized force systems that extend beyond the capabilities of standard pre-programmed appliances. Led by world-renowned expert Dr. Giorgio Fiorelli, this two-day course delivers a comprehensive framework for clinical decision-making, force system design, and predictable treatment execution.
We welcome international delegates and clinicians to join us in Hanoi for an inspiring educational experience focused on diagnosing complex asymmetries, applying cantilever mechanics, and mastering mandibular repositioning strategies.
Detailed Program Highlights
Day 1: Fundamentals, Cantilever Design & Asymmetry Evaluation
- Introduction to Biomechanics: Understanding the necessity of custom mechanics design, the limitations of standard protocols, and Dental Movement Analysis (DMA) related to force systems.
- Statically Determinate Mechanics: Master the Line of Action of Force, M/F ratios, and simple cantilever design through theoretical tests and practical guidelines.
- Two-Vector Mechanics: Composite cantilevers, configuration setup, and force angulation.
- Evaluating Asymmetries: Differentiating between skeletal and dental asymmetries and establishing clear treatment goals before starting therapy.
Day 2: Transversal/Sagittal Asymmetries & Mandibular Repositioning
- Transversal Asymmetries: Biomechanical solutions for unilateral cross-bite, scissor bite, and arch collapse in the canine area.
- Sagittal & Midline Corrections: Mechanics for unilateral distal movement, space closure, and midline adjustments in clinical scenarios.
- Mandibular Repositioning Protocols: Theoretical foundations, scope of correction in Class II and asymmetric cases, clinical protocols, and case presentations.
