Summary:
In the rapidly evolving field of orthodontics, digital technologies are revolutionizing treatment planning and execution. This presentation, titled "Digitally Designing the Orthodontic Future," delves into the transformative impact of digital tools and methodologies on three critical areas: Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, and the Mini-Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander (MARPE).

Introduction:
We begin by exploring the integration of digital imaging and 3D modeling in the precise placement of TADs. These innovations enhance anchorage control, minimize patient discomfort, and streamline complex orthodontic procedures. Next, TMD control requires very accurate scanning and bite registration to achieve the “Physiological bite” to gradually relieve TMD and its consequences on body posture. Through enhanced imaging techniques and computer-aided design, practitioners can develop personalized TMJ splints that significantly improve patient outcomes.

learning objective:
The presentation also highlights the advancements in MARPE technology, where digital tools open the gate for the imagination and possibilities and facilitate the design of customized expanders with risk-free TADs insertion, corticopuncher planning far from the incisive nerve.

Thanks to digital ability, the palate becomes a risk-free area to use as an indirect anchorage for wide types of devices.
Understanding the TMD root cause and accordingly digitally designing TMJ orthotic after TENS therapy Attendees will gain insights into the latest digital innovations shaping the future of orthodontics, with a focus on practical applications, case studies, and the benefits of integrating these technologies into everyday practice.
The presentation includes new ideas, devices, and approaches which has been created be me.

Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) or mini-implants definition, different types of comparison. Application and field of use of TADs in orthodontics:
1. Use the palatal TADs for impacted teeth/ectopic erupted teeth.
2. Extraction space closure.
3. Canted occlusal planes and dental midline correction.
4. Up-righting and extrusion of impacted molars.
5. Intrusion of molars.
6. Maxillary molar distalization and distalization of mandibular teeth.
7. Molar mesialization.
8. Skeletal expansion and corticopuncher.
9. Correction of vertical skeletal discrepancies.
10. Correction of deep bite.

Videos about practical part of TADs insertion: Interradicular, IZC, Lingually insertion with angulated handpiece, corticopuncher, and MSE application. Risk and complication. Keys of success.

Types of expanders/expansion, comparison between teeth born and mini implants assisted expanders. Mouth breathing consequences, etiology, symptoms, and solutions. MSE is used for different types of malocclusion treatment such as Cl II, Cl III, upper teeth intrusion, canting, midline deviation ..etc. Apply the face mask to the MSE. Use of the MSE as a direct/indirect anchorage. MSE installation/removal. Common mistakes and troubleshoots. A new approach for the narrow and deep palate challenge.

A brief and practical explanation of how to treat simple cases with a braces system, in this presentation you will find the answers to the most common questions for GP dentists who are interested in braces systems such:

o What is the purpose of the braces system?
o Biology of the periodontal ligaments and alveolar bone?
o Elements and consistency of braces system?
o How does the braces system work?
o Steps for putting braces and ligating the wire?
o Consequence of the wires?
o Debonding
o Retention
o Instrument
o Which cases can/not we treat as a beginner?
o When we can/not use braces?

The presentation will focus on the practical part of the braces system, enabling you to start practicing the braces system, it has slides of photos and practical videos with explanations such as how to fix the braces on, installing and ligating the wire with elastic ligatures and the power chain, sorting the wires types showing the differences between them and the function/roll of each of them, the sequences of the wires sizes, removing the braces and cleaning procedure, necessary instruments for all the procedures and much other useful information.
