Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics

Orthodontics and biomechanics are interconnected disciplines that play a crucial role in achieving proper dental alignment and facial esthetics. You will first gain a solid understanding of the basic ideas and concepts underlying biomechanics and orthodontics in this course. Next, you will discover the historical development and evolution of orthodontic biomechanics as well as the basic concepts in orthodontic biomechanics, biomechanics of tooth movement, and archwires in orthodontic biomechanics.

Next, you will explore different types of orthodontic appliances and auxiliaries necessary for effective orthodontic treatment. Then, you will delve into the principles, strategies, and techniques used in anchorage control, the biomechanical considerations, strategies, and mechanics employed to efficiently and effectively close spaces. Additionally, we will teach you the biomechanical principles and strategies used in orthodontic treatment to correct Class II and Class III malocclusions.

Understanding the biomechanics behind aligner therapy is crucial for orthodontists to effectively plan and execute treatment, ensuring optimal tooth movement and successful outcomes. Here, you will study the biomechanical principles specific to aligner therapy and their application in clinical practice. Finally, in this course, we will detail the principles, placement techniques, and biomechanical considerations associated with the use of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADS) in orthodontic practices. This course is suitable for professional prospective orthodontists. Enroll to get started.
