In orthodontic practice, the most common patients are children and teenagers. This means we often wonder if it’s time to act or if we should just wait. Will starting interventional therapy benefit our little patient and will it have a really positive impact on the final results, or will it simply be a waste of time? This is the scenario, for example, when we are dealing with possibly impacted canines. It is important to understand how to recognize them, how to assess their prognosis and how to improve them. Early detection of canine displacement and the use of clinically and radiographically detected predictive indicators can help the clinician flag a misaligned canine and prevent its possible impaction in the future. This also applies to patients with Class III or Class II defects. What impact our treatment will have, when we will need to perform it, and what treatment protocol will provide us with the best results. And finally, assessing the narrowing of the jaw, understanding when you really need to widen the jaw and with what protocol. All of this will be carefully analyzed based on the latest scientific evidence and international research data. Course participants will be guided step by step in mastering the best results for a specific problem and in choosing the most favorable time and recognizing it.
Course participants will have the opportunity to bring documentation of their own clinical cases to be able to evaluate the diagnostic and/or therapeutic path. For this purpose, you must express your willingness to do so at least 30 days before the course.
