UKI COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
UKI Fundamentals of Aligner Orthodontics is meticulously designed for orthodontic professionals eager to master the art of aligner therapy. This comprehensive course offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of aligner tooth movement, focusing on the critical differences between force-driven and displacement-driven systems.
Embark on a journey to hone your skills in digital treatment plan design tailored for most aligner-eligible malocclusions. Learn to design force systems adeptly, leveraging optimized attachment solutions or conventional mechanics to effectively treat various malocclusions, including deep bites, open bites, Class II and III malocclusions, and early treatment scenarios. Join us in "UKI Fundamentals of Aligner Orthodontics" and transform your practice with the power of advanced aligner technology. Empower yourself to deliver consistent results confidently using all the latest Invisalign technology.
UKI Advanced Aligner Treatments is a transformative learning experience designed for orthodontic professionals seeking to expand their expertise in sophisticated aligner therapies. This advanced course will equip you with the skills and knowledge to tackle complex orthodontic cases confidently and precisely.
Discover the art and science of managing staging and attachment design, which is crucial for successfully treating cases requiring extractions and the management of impacted teeth with aligners. Learn the intricacies of integrating Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) into your treatment plans, enhancing your ability to achieve desired outcomes with aligners.
Dive deep into the protocols for systematically addressing orthognathic surgery cases, leveraging aligners to facilitate pre-surgical preparation and post-surgical adjustments. Explore innovative solutions for managing temporomandibular disorder, utilizing splint therapy with aligners to relieve and improve function.
Master aligners in complex restorative cases, preparing the dental arches for subsequent restorative interventions through pre-restorative orthodontics. Gain insights into managing complex cases in growing patients, readying them for comprehensive orthodontic treatment with a strategic and informed approach.
Course Prerequisites: Participants are expected to comprehensively understand orthodontic biomechanics with at least two years of full-time orthodontic practice and advanced training.
Teaching methods: Online video lectures, video ClinCheck case reviews, downloadable written articles and supporting handouts, Facebook group Q&A and case sharing, and check for understanding unit assessments.
You will keep access to the content and community discussion areas in perpetuity.
