About Course

intraoral auxiliaries in orthodontics, specifically focusing on elastics and springs. Elastics, categorized by force (light, medium, heavy), are discussed regarding their application in space regaining, tooth alignment, and crossbite correction, along with their force decay over time. Springs, including open-coil and closed-coil varieties, are explained in terms of their use in space opening and closure, tooth rotation, and anchorage control. The lecture also covers transpalatal bars and lingual arches, emphasizing their roles in anchorage maintenance and arch form modification. Finally, the speaker highlights the importance of understanding the biomechanics of these auxiliaries to minimize unwanted side effects during orthodontic treatment.

What Will You Learn?

  • You will learn about the various types of intraoral auxiliaries used in orthodontics, their specific functions, and how they are used to achieve desired tooth movements and corrections. You will also learn about the forces they apply, their limitations, and how to manage them effectively
  • The webinar content is focused on the practical application of these auxiliaries, with discussions on force delivery, material properties, and clinical considerations. The webinar would be particularly helpful for those who want to understand:
  • •The classification of elastics and their specific applications.
  • •The proper use of different types of springs.
  • •The role of various other auxiliaries like transpalatal bars, lingual arches, and quad helix appliances in orthodontic treatment.
  • •The biomechanical principles behind their usage.
  • •The limitations and side effects associated with intraoral auxiliaries.
  • •The impact of factors like water absorption, diet, and oral environment on the performance of these materials
