Dr.Coco Garcia Presented by Dr. Garcia: Adult Nonsurgical Protocols Utilizing the Carrier System Harmonious forces are created when combining the use of the Carriere Motion Appliance and the new Carriere SLX Self-Ligating Bracket System. This allows you to achieve both occlusal and soft tissue results, which ensure long-term stability and optimal aesthetics. This system is extremely effective and can be used in both extraction and non-extraction cases. Treating Class II and Class III nonsurgical cases with the Carriere System, Twin Force Bite Corrector Device, and other orthopedic appliances will also be discussed. About Instructor Dr. Coco Garica: In June 1987, Dr. Garcia became an Associate Professor at the Institute para El Desarrollo Actualizacion y de Profesionales and the Internacional Course Coordinator until 1993 Mexico City, Mexico.

Presented by Dr. McFarlane: Clear Aligners Aren t Enough: Now What? More and more patients are requesting Clear Aligner orthodontics. Some patients are not ideal candidates for this type of treatment, resulting in lengthy treatment plans and occasionally less-than-perfect occlusion. Having additional orthodontic techniques that you will be able to incorporate with your current aligner treatment will allow you to achieve improved, long-term stability in less time, and with better patient compliance. Starting a Clear Aligner case with a solid Class I platform greatly reduces the number of trays patients will have to wear, and improves your final results and profitability. Case selection for better Clear Aligner outcomes Achieving a Class I platform prior to Clear Aligner treatment The orthodontic movements that are challenging for Clear Aligners Specific devices and auxiliaries for: Extrusions, Rotations, Antero- Posterior change, Transverse change Presented by Dr. McFarlane: Class II Correction using the Twin Force Bite Corrector Device When diagnosing a Class II malocclusion, attention should be given not only to the sagittal plane, but the transverse and vertical plane should also be considered. Skeletal Class II patients may benefit from treatment which includes mandibular advancement, maxillary expansion, and vertical control. Treating patients using the Twin Force Bite Corrector Appliance will be discussed.
