Full Face Orthodontics “F2O” Physiologic Orthodontics
- Posted on: Jan 2 2020
Course Type: Orthodontics Curriculum
This orthodontic course is designed to teach epigenetic facial development utilizing orthodontic growth appliances. By controlling the direction of orofacial growth, dramatic improvements in airway, function and aesthetics are achieved. Conventional retraction orthodontics in nearly all cases is contraindicated with protraction mechanics becoming established as the standard of care for orthodontic treatment. Whereas it was previously thought not possible, patients of any age can benefit from the orthopedic concepts taught presented in this course. Topics included are: recognizing the underdeveloped mid-face, facial biology of growth addressing both mid-face and mandibular growth and development, fixed and removable anterior growth guidance appliances, The Big 3 and its impact on proper facial development and occlusion and the Orthomatrix Total Diagnostics and Treatment Design. Doctors and team are encouraged to attend this course together and it is suggested to bring cases from their own practices for group participation of diagnosis and treatment planning.

Excellent, forward thinking material presented in a passionate, interactive, and organized manner. I will be implementing these disciplines as soon as I return to my practice!
Dr. Nancy Hamilton
The LVI F2O was a great introduction to the understanding facial growth and using this as a physiological basis for treating malocclusion with facial deficiency. David and Tim were extremely knowledgeable and presented the material in a practical and relevant manner. Absolutely fantastic!
Dr. Heba Skaros
This is cutting edge orthodontic knowledge presented in a practical and intelligent way. Thanks to David and Tim for standing with the cases in front of an analytical crowd.
