Advanced Case Diagnosis Including Orthognathic Surgery Alternatives 

This is a diagnosis seminar where you will be  applying what you now know about skeletal anchorage and other  multidisciplinary topics to achieve an even higher level of orthodontic  and dentofacial care. 

Some patients cannot be treated with just  orthodontics alone. They may have skeletal malformations that require  orthognathic surgery or multidisciplinary treatment. Whether or not you  decide to treat these cases yourself, it’s important to learn the proper  diagnostic technique, how to discuss the case with the surgeon, and the  skills for proper case presentation. This is one of the most rewarding  seminars, since you will be able to make a significant difference for  many patients after this class.  

Highlights:

• Diagnose and Treatment Plan Severe Class II and III Cases 
•                             
• Preliminary Diagnosis for Multi-Option Second Consultations 
•                             
• Orthodontics versus Dentofacial Orthodontics versus Orthognathic Surgery 
•                             
• Managing Growth and Severe Skeletal Issues in Class II Cases 
•
