The OHI‑S Microimplant Anchorage in Clinical Practice: Guide for Beginners and Intermediate course is best for orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and general dentists with orthodontic practice who want structured, training in the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs/microimplants). It emphasizes evidence‑based protocols for beginners and intermediate clinicians to improve treatment efficiency, control tooth movement, and expand orthodontic possibilities.

Who Should Enroll
Orthodontists starting to integrate microimplant anchorage into everyday clinical practice.
Pediatric dentists managing adolescent orthodontic cases where skeletal anchorage can reduce reliance on patient compliance.
General dentists with orthodontic focus seeking to expand their scope with modern anchorage techniques.
Residents & fellows in orthodontics or pediatric dentistry who need structured guidance in TAD protocols.
Dental technicians collaborating on appliance design that incorporates microimplants.
What You’ll Learn
Fundamentals of microimplant anchorage: principles, biomechanics, and clinical indications.
Insertion protocols: step‑by‑step guidance for safe and predictable placement.
Clinical applications: space closure, intrusion, distalization, and complex tooth movements.
Complication management: handling implant loosening, soft‑tissue irritation, and patient discomfort.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of beginner and intermediate orthodontic cases using microimplants.
