OHI-S European Online Orthodontic Forum. Advanced Protocols and Innovative Orthodontic Practices

6 lessons (5h 28min)
Advanced protocols and innovative practices in orthodontics are featured in the online version of the European Orthodontic Forum, where high treatment standards meet high expertise!
During the course, you will explore the most relevant topics in modern orthodontics:
– Biomechanics of orthodontic treatment
– Aligner therapy for open bite
– Aligners + skeletal anchorage
– Orthodontic treatment of patients with TMD
– Use of cantilevers for the treatment of canine impaction.
You will enjoy lectures from outstanding specialists who share only clinical, experience-based content — practical insights, real cases, and evidence-based approaches that can be directly applied in your daily orthodontic practice.
The OHI‑S European Online Orthodontic Forum: Advanced Protocols and Innovative Orthodontic Practices is best for orthodontists, dentists, and allied professionals who want CE‑accredited training in cutting‑edge orthodontic techniques, interdisciplinary workflows, and evidence‑based protocols. It is designed as a high‑level forum to share innovations and advanced practices across Europe and internationally.
