Abstract

Embark on a Comprehensive Two-Day Journey into Skeletal Anchorage in Orthodontics 

This immersive two-day course offers an exploration of skeletal anchorage, blending theoretical insights with hands-on practical applications. Participants will delve into the world of temporary anchorage devices (TADs), with a particular focus on mini-implants, comprehending their attributes and leveraging their advantages in orthodontic treatments. 

The course begins by laying a strong foundation with an in-depth introduction to TADs, encompassing insertion techniques and sites. Participants will navigate through clinical workflows, witnessing the transformative shift from analog to digital methodologies that significantly enhance the precision and efficacy of skeletal anchorage. 

Covering applications in both the upper jaw and mandible, the program sheds light on diverse utilities and advantages. The engaging lectures explore fundamental techniques such as distalization, mesialization, molar intrusion, management of impacted teeth, rapid maxillary expansion (RME), and Class III therapy. Moreover, participants will discover innovative ways to merge clear aligners with skeletal anchorage, expanding the horizons of clear aligner treatments. 

The course's practical segment immerses attendees in interactive modules featuring hands-on exercises. These exercises focus on various insertion techniques and the application of mini-implant-supported mechanics, transforming theoretical understanding into practical expertise. 

The course concludes with clinical tips for potential problems and a final discussion to provide participants with an opportunity for a comprehensive review and to address any remaining questions. 

Orthodontic professionals attending this comprehensive course will emerge equipped with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to proficiently implement skeletal anchorage. This newfound expertise will elevate treatment outcomes and broaden the spectrum of treatment options available to them in orthodontic practice.
