Workshops on Biomechanics
Course I - Transpalatal Arches
THE TOOLS: Mastering the Transpalatal Arches
The Workshop Series “THE TOOLS” offers an intensive theoretical and practical insight into Scientific Biomechanics applied to Orthodontics. The program provides an excellent opportunity for a deep understanding of the segmented arch techniques, and this first course will focus on the transpalatal arches.
Workshop Goals:
- Understanding the Principles: Develop a deep comprehension of the underlying biomechanical principles and mode of action of transpalatal arches.
- Exploring Clinical Applications: Learn about the various clinical scenarios where transpalatal arches can be effectively utilized, such as molars expansion, constriction, derotation, mesialization, distalization, and correction of symmetric and asymmetric crossbites.
- Developing Practical Skills: Acquire hands-on expertise through interactive demonstrations on how to effectively design, fabricate, and adjust transpalatal arches, while also troubleshooting common challenges along the way.
- Enhancing Problem-Solving Abilities: Engage in critical thinking exercises and expand your treatment planning capabilities to overcome complex cases using transpalatal arches.
