DIGITAL ORTHODONTICS

Description

Clear Aligners. So many patient are searching for them, but the overhead costs can be quite cost-prohibitive. For those ortho relapse cases or mild/moderate Malocclusion cases, wouldn't most patients prefer to wear a thin, clear piece of plastic that no-one can readily see? Blue Sky Bio is preparing to release their Orthodontic Module to add to their already widely loved and respected Implant Planning software. And, in the keeping with tradition, they are making this software free to download and use. The only fee is a per-case export fee that would rival the cost of a single cup of coffee from Starbucks.
But let's not forget. Not all cases will be appropriate for clear aligners. Traditional brackets and wires have a VERY important place in the care of our patients. But, what about refining and digitizing the most time consuming part of this treatment, the bracketing appointment. Wouldn't we all much rather position the brackets while having a cup of coffee? With digital design, we can print models and fabricate stents that will carry and position our brackets just as planned on the computer. Not only does this cut a 1.5hr bracketing appointment down to about 40min or less, but no more using mirrors and trying not to nudge a bracket in the process. And what's even best is that is reduces the likelyhood of having to reposition in the future.
This course is intended to help familiarize the attendee with the use of the Blue Sky Bio Orthodontic module. This module allows the user to digitally manipulate the position of the teeth in a model and align in an ideal manner. Then, the software will generate progressive models to manipulate the position of the teeth until they reach the preferred final destination. This software is still in testing. This course will get you the jump-start you want to start testing it in your own office and be ahead of the curve for the official release. Also, we will cover the the very simple process of fabricating your own bracket trays. And of course, we'll cover the process of printing these models in your own office if that's what you wish to do.

- Course Learning Objectives:
- Learn to Generate Cephalometric Analysis Reports
- Generation of 3D (STL) Models for Digital Planning
- Determine single arch or dual arch treatment
- Determine which teeth need alignment
- Properly selecting teeth surfaces for movement
- How to align teeth quickly and efficiently
- Tip and Tricks to achieve ideal movement patterns
- Digital Bracket Placement
- How to fabricate indirect bonding trays
- Outsource Print options
- In-Office 3D Printer Options

SLEEP APNEA TODAY- EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW

Description

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is chronic, sometimes life-threatening condition that affects 1 in 5 Americans, of which nearly 85% remain undiagnosed, resulting in a $3.4 billion annual impact on healthcare costs. With numbers that staggering, it isn’t a question If there is sleep apnea in your practice, but HOW do you address it? The landscape of sleep centers, do-it- yourself home sleep units and coordinating a diagnosis from sleep physicians can present a confusing path to navigate. This lecture will discuss how to streamline the identification process, while integrating a team of dental-friendly Board-Certified Sleep Physicians to diagnose and recommend treatment for your patients and how a patient’s medical benefits can be applied. Find out the simple way you can start treating sleep apnea on Monday.

Course Objectives:
Participants will learn:

  • The impact of sleep apnea
  • What is needed to begin treating sleep apnea
  • How to screen your existing patients for apneas with 95% accuracy using intra-oral exams, sleep studies, HST vs PSG (when and when to refer)
  • How to increase case acceptance in existing patients for screenings and treatment
  • How to market this service for new patients
  • How streamline the entire process and get staff on board
  • How to work with a Certified Sleep Doctor to create a stream of patients for treatment
  • How to deal with medical insurance to pay for treatment, including Medicare

OPTION 1: Starting at $1,700
Registration to two-day lecture.

OPTION 2: $2,500
Two-day lecture plus an incredible opportunity for you to experience the whole process for yourself as a patient! Once you register for this course, a Home Study Test will be sent to you from Awaken2Sleep.com with instructions on how to apply the device and get the appropriate test results, much like your patients could on Monday right after the course. You will also receive instructions on sending impressions to Burbank Dental Lab with an appropriate bite registration. An appliance will be fabricated that you will deliver to yourself on day 2 of the course and make the appropriate adjustments. Furthermore, pending approval from the city of Los Angeles, each participant will have a Cone Beam image taken at maximum intercuspation, and another scan with the appliance placed intra-orally to assess the position of the condyle and assess the changes in airway patency.  

Cancelation Policy: Full refund over 60 days from event minus $25 administrative fee. Refunded 50% 30-60 days from event. No refunds, cancellations, or transfers under 30 days from event.
