		<description><![CDATA[Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, And Treatment Mechanics
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course emphasizes the important area of diagnosis and treatment planning. Introductory comments will be made concerning the goals of orthodontic treatment. Following this, the three groups of cases presenting to the orthodontic practice will be discussed.
Group 1 cases are non-surgical, Group 3 cases are surgical and Group 2 cases include the difficult &#8220;borderline&#8221; non-surgical versus surgical cases. In each situation, the most ideal facial result for the patient is established, including the chosen upper and lower incisor position. The &#8220;dental VTO&#8221; program is ...]]></description>

Clear arch form template is used to determine the patient&#8217;s arch form on the lower model. (arch form templates &#8211; Opal part #400000)



This is the arch form template used in the clinic to form initial/light wires. (arch form templates &#8211; Opal part #400000)



Later in treatment, when the .019 x .025 heat activated wire is removed, a wax template is taken of the patient’s lower arch. The lower .019 x .025 stainless steel wire is formed to the bracket indentations in the wax. Take careful attention in establishing the correct posterior ...]]></description>

Upper First Molars
Measure the distance from the maxillary anterior incisal edges to the center of the clinical crowns.



Determine the corresponding maxillary first molar bracket height from the selected row of the McLaughlin Bracket Placement Guide.




Select a band that is slightly larger than the anticipated tooth size. Attempting to place a band that is too small distorts the band and eventually results in significant distortion of the entire band inventory.
Use finger or thumb pressure to seat the band, and work towards the smaller, correct size.



Gently use a plugger to seat the ...]]></description>

Important Keys to Orthodontic Finishing: Case Study 1
Three major keys to orthodontic finishing are:

Tooth Size
Bracket Positioning
Accuracy of the Appliance

The patients shown below are routine cases with good facial balance and Cl I occlusions. They were treated on a non-extraction basis and demonstrate the accuracy of the Avex&#8482; Bracket System.

Advantages of Early Expansion Case Studies: Case  Study 1
An American Board requirement is to finish cases with a relatively level curve of Wilson. Early management of the transverse dimension can be helpful in achieving this goal.
The following cases were treated with palatal expansion and uprighting of mandibular posterior segment.

		<description><![CDATA[The lower posterior segments frequently erupt with lingual inclination of the crowns and the upper posterior segments erupt with buccal inclination of the crowns.  This will result in over-erupted “hanging” palatal cusps and occlusal interferences during lateral movements.  One of the requirements of the American Board is to level the Curve of Wilson to eliminate these interferences.  The Avex appliance is designed with progressive buccal crown torque (uprighting torque) in the lower posterior segment and progressive buccal root torque in the upper posterior segment to allow for leveling the Curve ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The relationship between the lower lateral incisors and the lower canines is a difficult relationship to correct. This is because in many cases the lower incisors are flared forward and the lower canines are inclined lingually due to the presence of overbite. A significant amount of over-correction from the Andrews’ norms in both the torque and in-out dimension is helpful in properly aligning teeth in these areas.
The Andrews’ norms for lower incisor torque is -1o. Placing -6o of torque in the lower incisors helps to upright these teeth. This brings ...]]></description>
