Dr. Shane Langley
Dr. Langley has practiced orthodontics full time in Daphne, Alabama since 2009. He has served various positions on the faculty of the orthodontic department at the University of Alabama where he earned his orthodontic certificate and Master's degree.
Treatment of Complex Orthodontic Cases Using Esthetic and Efficient Solutions
Dr. Langley will share how he differentiated his practice to a patient centric focus while providing outstanding treatment outcomes. This involves maintaining the orthodontic specialty through excellence in treatment and providing value added services that help raise the bar for his patients. With the shift to esthetic demands form our patients, orthodontists no longer need to sacrifice clinical success for esthetic treatment. Vertical control and intra-arch protraction and retraction cases using TAD's will be presented along with topics around Class II corrections and cuspid substitution.
Learn how to:
- Understand why a patient centric practice is important and how you can differentiate yourself in a competitive market.
- Treat complex cases using esthetic ceramic brackets.
- Explore the biomechanics of vertical control of anterior open bites and intra-arch protraction of molars in bilateral and unilateral congenitally missing lower 5’s and full arch retraction for Class III correction utilizing TADs.
- Identify the principles of Class II correction – unilateral and bilateral, single arch extraction of upper 4’s vs. 5’s and surgical planning and preparation.
- Describe the principles, planning and execution of cuspid substitution.

Orthodontic Strategies for Improving Airway/OSA
We only diagnose what we see and we only see what we’re looking for. If you want to take your practice to the next level, you must make seeing the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea (airway problems) a routine part of your diagnosis and your treatments must become airway-friendly. We will summarize the critical importance of becoming airway-friendly in this introductory lecture. Included will be techniques and tactics for screening, testing and obtaining a diagnosis of sleep apnea, options for treatment and working with a team to treat OSA and airway problems.
Learn how to:
- Screen for breathing problems.
- Realize there is no cookbook approach to treating airway problems orthodontically.
- Understand in most instances, it takes an interdisciplinary team to effectively treat airway problems.

The Ideal Orthodontic Plan is Not Always Ideal Class I Occlusion
How to Customize Orthodontic Treatment Plans and Aligner Bio-Mechanics to be Patient Specific.
As orthodontic clinicians it is our responsibility to measure patient conditions and recommend appropriate orthodontic solutions for their individual circumstances. Often this means that the single objective of Class I posterior occlusion with all teeth present and aligned with ideal torque across the entire dental arches is not suited for every patient. Learn how to customize our orthodontic objectives for individual patients and their unique circumstances, and then how to express this orthodontic plan into customized aligner therapy.
Learn how to:
- Customize orthodontic objectives for patients and customize the aligner bio-mechanics to express this plan.
- Manipulate the 3D ClinCheck Software tools to bend your aligners like you bend wires.
- Diagnostic criteria that will help you identify the patients who will benefit more from aligner based orthodontics then traditional wire/braces orthodontics, and how to customize those aligners for them.
