Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics for Adolescents and Adults: Segmental & Bidimensional Mechanics and Removable Orthopedic Devices
Boston, MA •Saturday, October 24, 2015, 9 a.m. - Sunday, October 25, 2015, 5 p.m.
In this course, Dr. Marcel Korn will discuss an innovative philosophy of treatment planning for Permanent Dentition Cases and the Non-Surgical Treatment of Adults. This treatment method, which relies on segmental and bi-dimensional mechanics, will be described in detail and evaluated against pre-prescribed and straight wire techniques. Focus will be given to the inclusion of the musculature and muscular training in treatment. Both positive and negative contributions to outcomes will be featured through case presentations.

Course Information
Modern orthodontics has benefitted greatly from the addition of high-tech systems which can simplify treatment and deliver esthetically pleasing results. Examples of such systems include invisible orthodontics, straight wire, pre-prescribed brackets and temporary anchorage devices (TADS). Many of these systems are marketed as “one size fits all” approaches which can help to simplify the life of the orthodontist. However, while these systems may be more efficient than past methods, it is not clear that they are always more effective.
By demonstrating the value of “old school” techniques like wire-bending and individualized mechanics, Dr. Korn will illustrate how new and old techniques can be combined in order to provide improved patient care outcomes. Participants will be given hands-on experience in custom wire-bending techniques and muscle training, with the goal of delivering individualized and focused treatment plans for each patient.
