Topic: Craniofacial growth and early orthodontic treatment: Implications for clinical decision-making
This course will explore early orthodontic treatment from a growth-based perspective, emphasizing how differences in craniofacial growth patterns influence treatment timing, response, and clinical decision-making. Key concepts will include variability in early treatment outcomes, growth trajectories, and the use of growth-based frameworks to guide patient selection and management. The program will also cover management of challenging dental anomalies and orthodontic considerations in dental trauma, with a focus on practical, interdisciplinary care.
Morning Session 1: Variability in early orthodontic treatment outcomes
Morning Session 2: Craniofacial growth and clinical decision-making
Afternoon Session 1: Management of challenging dental anomalies
