Tuition: $155.00
Credits: 2
AGD Number: 370 – Orthodontics
Recommended For:
Dentists

Description:

Treating adult patients with narrow palates, severe dental crowding, airway concerns, and sleep apnea no longer requires invasive surgery. This course presents a non-surgical, evidence-based approach using the MSE2 (Maxillary Skeletal Expander), a device backed by over two decades of clinical research. Led by Dr. Kawaiah, who has successfully treated more than 500 adult patients over the age of 50, this course offers practical guidance and clinical pearls for incorporating skeletal expansion into your orthodontic and airway-focused treatment plans. Attendees will also benefit from hands-on model work to reinforce techniques. Ideal for orthodontists, general practitioners, and interdisciplinary teams seeking to expand adult treatment options with proven, non-invasive techniques.

Learn to:

• apply MSE2 to treat adult patients with complex orthodontic and airway needs
• incorporate skeletal expansion into treatment plans for sleep apnea
• understand the mechanics, indications, and outcomes of non-surgical maxillary expansion
• practice hands-on techniques using clinical models

Course #: 4230
Date: 12/01/2025
Time: 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Course Info: Half Day
Speaker(s):
Abdalhadi Kawaiah, DMD

Topic: Orthodontics
Tuition: $155.00
Credits: 2
Recommended For:
Dentists

Description:

Dr. Kawaiah will present a series of clinical cases involving adult patients with narrow palates and Class II malocclusion. The focus will be on the use of MARPE (Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) to widen the maxilla and advance the mandible an approach designed to improve airway function and alleviate obstructive sleep apnea. This session will also include hands-on practice with models to reinforce key techniques.

Learn to:

• understand treatment strategies for obstructive sleep apnea through orthodontic airway management
• address dental crowding and arch development using non-surgical expansion
• manage Class II malocclusions in adults without surgery

Ki Beom Kim, DDS, MSD, PhD

Topic: Orthodontics
Tuition: $425.00
Credits: 5
AGD Number: 370 – Orthodontics
Recommended For:
Dentists, Students, Lab Technicians, Educator

Description:

This lecture explores the cutting-edge advancements in 3D-printed clear aligners, with a focus on attachment-free treatment protocols. Attendees will learn how recent innovations in photocurable polyurethane materials and digital design are enabling effective tooth movement without the need for traditional attachments. Emphasis will be placed on the biomechanical principles that support attachment-free aligner therapy and how this approach can improve both treatment efficiency and patient experience. The lecture will also examine how 3D printing is transforming precision and customization in orthodontics.

Learn to:

• understand the impact of 3D printing technology on clear aligner fabrication and evaluate its advantages and limitations in treatment planning
• analyze the biomechanical principles of attachment-free clear aligners and their effectiveness in achieving predictable tooth movement
• identify technical challenges and solutions in developing customized 3D-printed aligners using advanced digital workflows

Daniel Berant, DMD

Topic: Orthodontics
Tuition: $155.00
Credits: 3
Recommended For:
Dentists, Educator

Description:

This lecture will take participants on a practical journey through the A-to-Z integration of 3D printing and CBCT in the modern periodontal and orthodontic practice. From setting up a 3D printer to implementing it in daily clinical work-flows, attendees will explore the wide range of applications across orthodontic, periodontal, and restorative disciplines. Using real-world case examples, we will cover foundational skills such as CBCT interpretation and digital treatment planning for single implants and crowns, as well as advanced procedures like guided surgery and tooth auto-transplantation. Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started or an experienced clinician aiming to expand your digital capabilities, this lecture offers actionable insights to elevate your practice with cutting-edge technology.

Learn to:

• understand the step-by-step process of integrating a 3D printer into the periodontal, orthodontic, and restorative practice, from initial setup to daily use
• interpret CBCT scans for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes across single-tooth and complex cases
• apply digital workflows and software for planning and executing treatments, including implant placement, crown fabrication, and guided surgical procedures
• explore advanced applications such as tooth auto-transplantation and interdisciplinary case management using 3D printing technology
