Speaker: Dr. Ravindra Nanda
Date: 02.11.2024 Saturday
Time: 13:00 – 18:30
Seat: Limited
In recent years orthodontic conversation has been primarily on ‘sleep orthodontics’, maxillary expansion, artificial intelligence, FEM studies and efficacy of clear aligners. We should not forget that the majority of the orthodontic treatment modalities can not deliver predictable results without the application of biomechanics principles. This presentation will describe application of biomechanics in three treatment modalities. The similarities and differences in biomechanics application will be discussed with sequential treatment of patients with various malocclusions.
