This 4-hour CE course* will review the process of treating patients in the early-mid mixed dentition with full braces, including:

  • The types (i.e. materials), sizes, and shapes of wires to use when preforming arch development in the early-mid mixed dentition.
  • How to use the primary teeth as anchors to develop the bone and create space for the erupting permanent teeth.
  • The intervals at which patients should be seen during treatment and the duration of treatment visits.
  • What to perform/accomplish at each visit to maximize the efficiency and efficacy of treatment, including archwire changes, use of closed and open coil springs, management of loose primary teeth, addition of brackets to blocked-out teeth, etc.
