Friday, Early Treatment using Fixed and Removable Functional Appliances
Early malocclusions left untreated will worsen over time. Early treatment has been proven to both reduce the cost and time of fixed braces. Parents and children prefer non-extraction and non-surgical treatment. When orthodontic-orthopedic treatment is initiated early the need for extractions of permanent teeth and surgical corrections of the malocclusion is eliminated in 95% of the cases. It has been estimated that as many as 70% of children have some form of malocclusion and yet the majority of orthodontic clinicians are choosing not to treat these patients. This is an excellent opportunity for general dentists to learn how to help these patients and at the same time increase their practice income with Two-Phase Treatment.
Phase One Orthopedic Phase Mixed dentition (Age 5-11)
Functional appliances Non-Extraction, Elimination of functional and skeletal problems
90% of the face is developed by age 12. If you want to modify the growth of children while they are actively growing you must use functional appliances.
Phase Two Orthodontic Phase Permanent dentition (Age 12-14)
Fixed braces to solve dental problems such as crooked teeth and to close spaces
CLINICAL CASES: posterior crossbites, anterior crossbites, deep overbites, anterior open bite, thumb sucking, underdeveloped mandibles, class II malocclusions, class III malocclusions

Course Description:
This course displays a technique based on over 25 years of attending and video reviewing orthodontic CE at the local and national levels at approximately 80 credits per year. The lecturer has contracted speakers for the IAO New England for close to 20 years and has made it a point to incorporate elements from many of the presented techniques to develop this treatment philosophy, which has recently gained much publicity with the Dr. John & Mike Mew Article in The New York Times Aug. 20, 2020. The approach is based on over 20 years of photographically documented cases and case follow-ups.
