Synopsis 

Slow continued tooth movement combined with occlusal degradation  is one of dentistry’s biggest blindspots. The long term aesthetic and functional affect of this can be devastating but also can be treated simply and early.

This seminar will show how carrying out combined or separate simple direct restorative bonding,  and planned orthodontics can provide safe aesthetic and functional dentistry which is accessible to many more patients.

It will cover the functional benefits of the interceptive treatment of wear, and principles of the alignment, bleach, bonding concept creating simpler safer and more affordable realistic options for many more patients and which can be carried out by any dentist.

Aims and Objectives 

To understand the affect of continued tooth movement and slow occlusal changes.

To highlight the planning protocols of simple occlusion- driven anterior alignment methodology using digital arch evaluation and 3d printing

To consider the protection of guidance and the long term function via planning and retention methodology.

To outline the use of edge bonding as a viable non invasive aesthetic and functional tool for cosmetic dentistry and occlusal treatment via the Dahl principle.

To understand how align bleach and bond can totally change the way we approach all cases not just cosmetic ones.

Added Learning content 

Tif will show how imaging and communication can be used as part of every single checkup  to build a large list of educated patients who are highly aware of what is going on dentally and arguably more likely to choose an interceptive treatment as a result, using images gathered over 20 years. This can completely replace dental charting and is far superior for real monitoring of tooth wear and other dental changes  He will also outline some of the simple functional checks he uses to monitor and educate patients about the long term functional changes with the goal of preventing any patient ever needing rehabilitation treatments.
