Topics We'll Cover
Advanced Treatment Planning
See the End from the Beginning!
We’ll walk you through my step-by-step process of treatment planning cases to the face. Treatment planning isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s about facial harmony. You’ll discover how I integrate smile arc, mid-face enhancement, and buckle arch width from the very start, setting the foundation for a beautiful, stable finish.
Precision Bracket Placement
Finishing Starts With Great Bracket Placement!
As I always say, finishing starts with precise bracket placement. I’ll guide you on how to position brackets with precision, so you can avoid wire bending and interferences down the line. With hands-on practice using 3D-printed models, you’ll learn to visualize the final tooth position at the time of bonding. We’ll also show a live patient bonding in our clinic, ensuring you experience a real-time demonstration of the techniques you just learned.
“Placing a bracket isn’t just a step; it’s an art. The better your placement, the better your finish!”.
Wire Coordination
Creating Width That Transforms Smiles.
We’ll explore the importance of transverse arch width in creating stunning smiles. Using light-force mechanics, we’ll teach you how to develop arch width without flaring the incisors. Achieving that broad, confident smile isn’t just about mechanics—it’s about knowing the vision for the case. You’ll understand how to develop transverse arch width while maintaining torque control for consistent, beautiful outcomes.
Finishing Techniques
Take Your Cases From Good to Great!
Finishing is where everything comes together. I’ll share key finishing techniques, such as where to go from the pano repo visit, occlusal adjustments, how to ensure the smile arc aligns perfectly with the patient’s natural expression, and more. We’ll go over pearls and troubleshooting methods for the little tweaks that elevate your work from good to exceptional.
Hard Tissue Contouring
Sculpting Teeth for the Perfect Smile
Orthodontics is about more than just aligning the teeth—hard tissue contouring allows you to shape the teeth to take your finish to the next level. In this section, we’ll cover:
- Enamel reshaping techniques to smooth uneven edges and correct minor imperfections.
- Slenderizing (IPR) to enhance alignment and create space where necessary.
- Polishing protocols for giving teeth a natural, glossy finish that sets their smile apart from the rest.
Soft Tissue Contouring
Mastering Gingival Aesthetics
Gingival architecture plays a critical role in the final smile, and small adjustments can make a massive difference. You’ll learn:
- How to evaluate and adjust gingival margins to create balanced symmetry.
- Laser-assisted gingivectomy techniques for reshaping excessive gum tissue and minimizing gum display.
- Hands-on experience with the best soft tissue lasers on the market.
- Techniques for handling delicate soft tissues safely and effectively using modern laser technology.
At the end of this course, you’ll receive a Laser Certification, equipping you with the skills and credentials to perform soft tissue contouring confidently in your practice.
Gummy Smile Correction
Proven Protocols Without Surgery
Non-surgical gummy smile treatment can be a great way to elevate your practice. I’ll share non-surgical treatment protocols using TADs, wire coordination, and intrusion techniques to control vertical dimensions and reduce gum display. We’ll also cover real-time clinical bonding strategies for smile arc protection, along with techniques to keep your cases under control while intruding.
