Dr. John Bennett
Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics for the 2020s

There was a time when orthodontists may have considered themselves as mere ‘tooth movers’, aiming only to create a nice smile, but those days have gone. Evidence is available to support a much wider role and more important status for the orthodontist in today’s medical community, because it is now accepted that good orthodontic care can improve the quality of life for patients in many areas.

In this comprehensive one day program Dr. Bennett will show key aspects of the current thinking and the new techniques which are being recommended. He will look in detail at evidence-based treatment methods which will support this wider role for the orthodontist. He will show an overall philosophy to meet the expectations of patients and colleagues as we move into the 2020s and will explain how proven treatment mechanics can be combined with newer concepts to provide state-of-the-art care.

Some of the specific topics will include:

1. An update on mechanics - what has changed and what does not change
2. Information on arch wire sequencing and bracket technology
3. The role of the orthodontist in managing the airway
4. Techniques for successfully treating to a Class II molar result
5. Managing upper canines using bracket versatility
6. Technique tips for better treatment of Class II/2 cases
7. How to minimize wire bending and enjoy being an orthodontist

This will be a clinical course given by an acknowledged authority in treatment mechanics. It will be supported by stage-by-stage treated cases of varying levels of complexity, remembering that if we are not making changes we are not making progress. Why not take this chance to spend an enjoyable and clinically relevant day with motivated colleagues on December 6th?

The Pre-Congress Course is sponsored by DENTALCOM - Papazoglou G. S.A. - FORESTADENT.

Curriculum Vitae

Dr. Bennett is a well-known figure in the world of orthodontics. He has a special interest in developing effective orthodontic treatment mechanics and has authored or co-authored seven orthodontic textbooks. Working with Dr. Richard McLaughlin and Dr. Hugo Trevisi in the 1990s he developed an overall philosophy of orthodontic treatment which is the method of choice in many university teaching departments around the world. Since then he has continued to work with Dr. McLaughlin to introduce further improvements and refinements in orthodontic treatment mechanics. This latest thinking will be the main focus of his presentations at the Congress in Thessaloniki.
