sectional pre-restorative Orthodontics. Maintaining the basics of occlusion is the hallmark of good

prosthetic work.

This course will empower the general dentist to:

1. Make a proper diagnosis and treatment plan

2. Bond brackets and use wires and springs to bring about minor tooth movements

3. Insert micro-implants with precision to effect small teeth movements

A variety of clinical cases will be presented in the course along with contemporary concepts of

Ripple effect, etc.
