Description

The objective of the course is to demonstrate and teach, through theoretical and practical concepts, the use of the Double Slot Bracket in orthodontic treatments. This accessory is the only bracket in the world that has two central, open, rectangular slots of different dimensions (0.018’’ and 0.022’’), making it the only two-dimensional bracket in the world.

The use of this tool allows for the treatment of approximately 80% of orthodontic biomechanics, such as molar intrusions and uprighting, traction of impacted teeth, and treatment of deep open bites, eliminating the need for accessories such as transpalatal arches, lingual arches, intermaxillary elastics, and mini-implants, making the treatment more comfortable, predictable, and controlled.

Acquired Skills

All participants will have the opportunity to learn, both theoretically and practically, how to manage and treat all malocclusions in a simple way using this new tool.
