Key Information
Module 1 — Digital Diagnosis and Contemporary Decision-Making
A structured diagnostic protocol and treatment-decision matrix.
Records, 2D/3D diagnosis, facial and model analysis, CBCT/STL integration, AI-supported diagnostic thinking and case selection.
Module 2 — Applied Digital Biomechanics: Aligners, Brackets or Both
A clear decision protocol for choosing aligners, brackets or hybrid mechanics.
Biomechanics of aligners vs fixed appliances; torque, rotations, extrusion, intrusion, root control, archwire sequencing and indirect bonding.
Module 3 — Class I, Space Management and Aesthetic Aligner Planning
A Class I aligner/hybrid setup with IPR and attachment strategy.
Crowding, spacing, IPR, dentoalveolar expansion, anterior torque, attachment design, staging and refinement protocols.
Module 4 — Class II and Class III: Sagittal Protocols in Digital & Hybrid Orthodontics
Step-by-step protocols for sagittal correction with realistic appliance selection.
Differential diagnosis of sagittal discrepancies, distalisation, elastics, mandibular advancement, extractions, anchorage control and TAD-supported strategies.
Module 5 — Transverse and Vertical Problems: Expansion, MARPE/BAME and Skeletal Anchorage
An integrated transverse/vertical treatment plan using digital records and skeletal anchorage.
Posterior crossbite, dentoalveolar vs skeletal expansion, MARPE/BAME, open bite, deep bite, occlusal plane control and TAD guides.
Module 6 — Hybrid Treatments, Finishing, Retention and Long-Term Stability
A finishing and retention protocol designed to reduce refinements and improve stability.
Sectionals, customized brackets, aligner auxiliaries, rescue protocols, tracking control, functional occlusion, retention and relapse management.
