This three-day course that will enlighten doctors to the possibilities of integrating orthodontics into the dental practice and serve as an adjunct to aesthetic dentistry not previous embellished. Through diagnostic instrumentation and modern orthodontic appliances participants will discover the use of braces and appliances for the occlusal stabilization only found by the application of the principles of neuromuscular dentistry. Not unlike traditional orthodontics, but certainly a step above, this course will answer your questions about and immediately put you on the path to orthodontic excellence through the principles of Neuromuscular Dentistry.
Every general dentist should be able to utilize orthodontics to enhance their restorative therapy. Neuromuscular Orthodontics is an essential tool for every practice. Our goal is to get you started utilizing this tool, beginning with the NM physiologic position.
This course includes lectures and interactive hands-on participation projects, where each participant will learn the diagnosis and neuromuscular functional orthodontic treatment of various malocclusions. Additionally clinical didactic skills will be developed in order to be able to provide treatment including phase II stabilization treatment.
Goal of Session #1: To discover the possibilities of orthodontic stabilization using neuromuscular principles of occlusion and by defining these principles through the application of bio-electrical modalities and orthodontic diagnosis.
The objectives of this course are for the participant to:
- Utilize treatment philosophies and modality options to complete stabilization of occlusion through Neuromuscular orthodontics
- Define and use orthodontic techniques and procedures compatible with Neuromuscular Dentistry and Neuromuscular Functional Orthodontics
- Understand the correct diagnostic and treatment protocols for treatment
- Utilize diagnostic screening protocols as they relate to Radiology, Physical Examination, Bio-electrical instrumentation, Scans and data interpretation and TENS
- Understand how to design, select and use the orthodontic appliances required for specific neuromuscular occlusal treatment
- Realize the importance of proper TMJ joint physiology in neuromuscular stabilization and the appliances necessary to achieve that end
- Describe the importance of a proper airway evaluation and discover the total body response to occlusal stabilization
- Understand what occlusion is possible with modern orthodontic appliances
- Investigate the treatment options of orthodontics and see the role they play in developing facial beauty
