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.

Inter-Arch Treatment Mechanics Class II Treatment
This course will cover the vertical, horizontal and transverse aspects concerning the diagnosis and treatment planning of Class II cases. This will include the soft tissue, dental and skeletal components of these cases. Non-extraction and extraction treatment options will be demonstrated through case examples. The indications and contra-indications of molar distalizing techniques and functional appliances will be evaluated with case reports. The advantages and disadvantages of early treatment will be discussed and techniques of management will be shown. Temporomandibular joint problems will be reviewed which will include the pathophysiology of condylar resorption and the management of this condition. Management of airway issues which are predominantly seen in Class II cases will also be discussed.
Learn how to:
- Understand the advantage and necessity of including the evaluation of the patient's soft tissue when diagnosing treatment.
- Use the McLaughlin Dental VTO when diagnosing cases. The VTO analyzes and evaluates tooth positions and provides dental treatment options.
- Evaluate when a Phase I is indicated in a Class II malocclusion and what options are available.
