OHI-S Skeletal Class 2 & Class 3 treatment team approach orthodontist-surgeon

7 lessons + 1 free (3h 54min)

Skeletal Class 2 & Class 3 treatment by an “orthodontist-surgeon” team in accordance with the protocols of a world-famous professor of orthodontics, Dr. Alexandre Bottrel.

During the training, you will learn to:

– diagnose skeletal malocclusion

– plan orthognathic surgery

– communicate between surgeon and orthodontist

– treat class 2

– treat class 3.

The OHI‑S Skeletal Class II & Class III Treatment – Team Approach (Orthodontist–Surgeon) program is best for orthodontists, oral & maxillofacial surgeons, and interdisciplinary dental teams who want structured, training in managing severe skeletal malocclusions through combined orthodontic and surgical protocols. It emphasizes evidence‑based collaboration to achieve functional stability, facial harmony, and long‑term success in complex cases.

Who Should Enroll
Orthodontists treating patients with severe skeletal Class II or Class III malocclusions requiring surgical correction.
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons collaborating with orthodontists on orthognathic surgery planning and execution.
Prosthodontists & restorative dentists involved in rehabilitating occlusion after surgical‑orthodontic treatment.
Residents & fellows in orthodontics or oral surgery seeking advanced interdisciplinary training.
Dental technicians supporting appliance fabrication and surgical splint design.
What You’ll Learn
Diagnosis & case selection: identifying skeletal Class II and Class III cases that require surgical intervention.
Treatment planning protocols: sequencing orthodontic and surgical steps for predictable outcomes.
Orthognathic surgery integration: surgical techniques and orthodontic preparation for Class II and Class III correction.
Interdisciplinary collaboration: communication between orthodontist, surgeon, and restorative team.
Functional & aesthetic outcomes: ensuring occlusal stability, facial balance, and patient satisfaction.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of orthodontic–surgical teamwork in skeletal malocclusion treatment.
