Early Treatment Comprehensive
2-day In-person Course
This immersive 2-day program provides a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for early, airway-focused orthodontic treatment. Participants will learn how to master the following areas:

- Records Analysis: Review intake forms, clinical photographs, and radiographs (including CBCT images) to properly diagnose your patients.
- Treatment Planning: Develop a customized treatment plan and communicate your findings with parents (all in one visit!) to increase case conversion.
- Interdisciplinary Care: Recognize what issues require coordination of care with ENTs, physicians, myofunctional therapists, etc., and learn how to make the appropriate referrals.
- Early Treatment with Braces & Wires: Treatment of patients in the mixed dentition w/o using “expanders”! We’ll teach you the entire process from bonding to adjustment visits to debond and retention, including archwire sequencing and troubleshooting of challenging clinical situations.

Testimonials
"My phase 1 cases are amazing! I absolutely love the techniques I learned from your course. So cool to see the arches transform in such a short period of time!!" -Dr. Brian Benner
"I purchased and watched your webinars and absolutely loved them. I have been a Damon user for 10 years and now practice with Pitts Pro protocols. So I'm certainly a believer in arch development. You have opened my eyes to a large segment of kids that we have overlooked and can now help. We basically did expanders and lip bumpers in the past." - Dr. Christina Bowman
"I had my doubts but I was definitely looking for a better way to do Phase I treatment than my existing RPE/lip bumper/E-arches. I am sooo excited to implement this into my practice, I already held a team meeting today to explain there will be some major changes (for the better). I binged the videos like a suspenseful Netflix show!" - Dr. Bruce Ollins

Like many of your doctor customers/clients, I had my doubts but I was definitely looking for a better way to do phase 1 treatment than my existing RPE/lip bumper/ E arches. I’m sooo excited to implement this into my practice, I already held a team meeting today to explain there will be some major changes (for the better). I binged the videos like a suspenseful Netflix show!" - Dr. Graham Hawkins
