From the course you will learn:

– biomechanical aspects and protocols for working with the Herbst appliance
– protocols of pseudo class 3 correction
– camouflage treatment protocols
– management of patients with horizontal bone loss
– protocols for the treatment of facial asymmetry due to the shift of the lower jaw
– retention and relapse prevention protocols in orthodontics

The OHI‑S Functional Orthodontics: Autotransplantation and Result Retention course is best for orthodontists, pediatric dentists, oral surgeons, and prosthodontists who want structured, training in advanced functional orthodontic protocols. It emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to autotransplantation, functional occlusion, and long‑term retention strategies to ensure stable outcomes in complex cases.

Who Should Enroll
Orthodontists managing functional orthodontic cases and integrating autotransplantation into treatment planning.
Pediatric dentists treating growing patients with missing or impacted teeth who benefit from autotransplantation.
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons performing surgical autotransplantation and collaborating with orthodontists on functional outcomes.
Prosthodontists & restorative dentists incorporating functional orthodontics into comprehensive rehabilitation.
Residents & fellows in orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, or oral surgery seeking advanced interdisciplinary training.
What You’ll Learn
Functional orthodontics principles: evidence‑based protocols for occlusion, growth guidance, and stability.
Autotransplantation techniques: indications, surgical steps, and integration with orthodontic treatment.
Retention strategies: long‑term protocols to maintain functional and aesthetic results.
Interdisciplinary collaboration: combining orthodontics, surgery, and restorative dentistry for predictable outcomes.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of autotransplantation and retention in functional orthodontics.
