AM350-ADVANCED STRAIGHT WIRE MECHANICS
Description
The purpose of this course is to present more and more
efficient mechanics for the Straight Wire appliance. This will be done on
a phase by phase basis. A review will be done on the classic Straight Wire
mechanics with emphasis on bracket placement and the newer ideas concerning
bracket prescriptions and design. Problems associated with these mechanics
will be discussed and how they impact treatment decisions.
The course will also involve an in depth presentation
of the Thermal Nickel- Titanium products that are now available. These
will include arch wires, coiled springs and expansion appliances. The ability
of the dental practitioner to finish cases faster with less patient discomfort
will be highlighted. Auxiliary devices like TMA "T" loop will
also be included. Cases will be evaluated that utilize both fixed and
functional appliances simultaneously.
