At the end of this course, the course participant should be able to identify which treatment objectives lead to post-treatment stability, what cases are best treated with extractions, which cases are best treated with self-ligating brackets, and what the consequences are during treatment when cases best treated with extractions are treated without extractions. The trends in cephalometric values in these situations should become apparent to the course participant as the dentition aligns in cases begun non-extraction and extractions are done much later in the treatment.

This course takes an honest look at the outcomes of allowing an appliance system to exert undue influence over treatment planning. The popularity of self-ligating appliance systems has led to an abandonment of extractions in orthodontics in conjunction with orthodontic treatment. A number of cases will be examined that were treated completely without extractions as well as cases where extractions were done well into orthodontic treatment. In all of the cases, the changes in cephalometric values will be examined, especially with respect to how they changed during the non–extraction phase of the treatment and then their reverting back towards the pre-treatment values after extractions were done and the orthodontic treatment completed.

At the end of the session, the course participant should be able to identify cases where utilization of sectional mechanics would be useful as opposed to fully banded/bonded approaches, understand favorable rotations / angulations versus unfavorable rotations / angulations, understand the sequencing and timing of appliance placement, and recognize the advantages of utilizing sectional mechanics to prevent incisor flaring and round-tripping of incisors during tooth movements effected during orthodontic treatment.

This course provides an explanation of sectional mechanics, a technique of treating bicuspid extraction cases as well as cases with significant generalized spacing, with fixed edgewise appliances. The rationale behind sectional mechanics, techniques in utilizing the sectional mechanics approach, various clinical tips, and treated cases are covered in detail. The advantages of using sectional mechanics over fully banded approaches in cases with significant anterior crowding is discussed and demonstrated.

At the end of the session, the course participant should have a general understanding of the history of mini-screw usage, anatomical considerations in site selection for placement of TADS, the process of TAD placement, and how they can be implemented for anchorage in conjunction with some of the more common tooth movements utilized in orthodontic treatment.At the end of the session, the course participant should have a thorough knowledge and understanding of mini-screw design, materials used in the manufacturing of mini-screws, terminology that applies to mini-screw anatomy, characteristics of the ideal mini-screw, and the rationale behind the design of mini-screws currently on the market.

Introduction to TADS for the GP, First-time User, and Non-orthodontic Specialist provides an overview of the history of TADS and their evolution, a general approach to site selection and placement of TADS, and demonstrates a variety of clinical applications for their use in orthodontic treatment. Various types of tooth movements useful in the practice of orthodontics will be demonstrated with appropriate clinical photographs.This course will provides an in-depth review of the anatomy of the mini-screw, ideal characteristics of the mini-screw, how they differ among the various manufacturers, and an overview of some of the commercial product offerings available to the orthodontic specialist for use in their practices.

At the end of the course, the participant should be able to recognize these 5 types of tooth movements using TADS, understand the biomechanical principles behind each of them as well as recognize the limitations of each type of movement. The participant should also have strategies in place to counteract these undesired movements. The difference between direct and indirect anchorage should be well understood and adaptations of biomechanics to meet the requirements of each type of anchorage system should be apparent. Placement of TADS relative to the type of anchorage considered as well as relationship to various auxiliaries to be used should be well understood. The participant should be able, after looking at the typodont as well as the clinical cases, to incorporate TADS into their treatment plans to effectively produce these 5 basic tooth movements.

This course will cover the 5 most common tooth movements using TADS: (1) Anterior Intrusion (2) Anterior Retraction (3) Molar Distalization (4) Molar Protraction (5) Posterior Intrusion The bio-mechanical considerations of each movement as well as how to effect each movement will be covered. A number of strategies to affect each type of movement will be discussed. Some of the tooth movements will be demonstrated using typodonts to envision the clinical set up. The undesirable side effects as well as strategies to counteract them will be discussed. Clinical examples of each type of movement will be demonstrated and discussed.
