Abstract:

The key in understanding occlusion and malocclusion is the analysis of function. Neuromuscular Orthodontics is a relatively new and easy approach engineered for the orthodontist of the future. This brief course has the objective to introduce you to the basics of Neuromuscular Orthodontics: Muscle function (EMG), lip balance, cranio-cervical posture, mandibular tracking, muscle relaxation (T.E.N.S.). During this course you will be shown several cases treated with a variety of functional appliances for the treatment of Class I-II-III malocclusions and oral orthotics for thetreatment of TMJ disorders. See how easy treatment is once your comprehension of the cause of malocclusion is exhaustive. Part 1 of the coursewill focus on how to diagnose a malocclusion without all the complicated tasks that have been taught in the past, but in a more modern andfunctional fashion. Part 2 will show you how to build a better looking face while reducing relapse and TMJ problems.
