The Level II seminars will continue to be held regularly each year in Warszawa. These have been very popular for the doctors because they are able to further their orthodontic education by learning new orthodontic technics and as well they can consult with Dr. Brown and his team for advice on their own personal cases. Level II is a complete 5 times 2-day program over 2.5 years/seasons.

Session 1:   November 18, 19 (Sat, Sun), 2023

Day 1 and 2:

CLI and CLII Treatment for Young Patients and Adults

Lecture: Diagnostic analysis, treatment planning and mechanical treatment planning of different types of CLI and CLII orthodontic patients with the goal of beautiful orthodontic and esthetic results.

Clinical case presentations:

Young patients:

Mixed dentition and adolescent ages, CLI and CLII 

  • Deep bite and open-bite cases will be examined.
  • There is often a misunderstanding about when it is best to use the HA NiTi Transpalatal Expander/Rotator. There will be detailed explanations of this with texts and clinical cases demonstrating when these appliances are best used and when they are not necessary.

There will be an over-view of the use of: 

  • Bracketing techniques/schemes used for deep and open bite cases; NiTi CLII Corrector; HA NiTi Transpalatal Expander/Molar Rotator; Molar distalizers; Head Gear; Intrusion wires.

The clinical cases presented will demonstrate the time-tested, systematic, logical and time saving approach to patient treatment using Dr. Brown’s system of SWA orthodontics.

Adult patients:

  • The theme will be to demonstrate “what are the limits for a treatment non-extraction, non-surgical”?
  • Extraction and non-extraction cases will be discussed
  • Use of the HA NiTi transpalatal Expander/Molar Rotator in adult treatments.

Workshop, video and lecture:

  • Mini-screw placement: the particiânts will lace a mini-screw on the typodont

 

Session 2:  NEW dates: March 16, 17 (Sat Sun) 2024    

Day 1 and 2

CLIII Treatments for Young Patients and Adults

There will be a workshop on mini-screw placement.

Young patients: Mixed dentition and adolescent ages with CLIII malocclusions.

  • Treatment of CLIII skeletal and dental malocclusions.
  • There is often a misunderstanding by doctors about when it is best to use the HA NiTi Transpalatal Expander/Molar Rotator. There will be detailed explanations of CLIII clinical cases demonstrating when these appliances are best used and when they are not necessary.

CLIII treatment for Adults
