Click here to download the brochure.


An interactive hands-on clinical course designed especially for the orthodontic/orthognathic team.

This hands-on seminar will focus on improving the effectiveness of the orthodontist/OMS team, with emphasis on working with miniplate anchorage and 3D virtual imaging and planning. The program features dedicated workshops each for orthodontists and surgeons, plus multidisciplinary breakout sessions for both groups. The two-day event will be conducted by doctors Gwen Swennen, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and Hugo De Clerck, orthodontist. Attendance is strictly limited.

Course highlights and objectives:
• Step-by-step interactive clinical hands-on teaching on the orthodontic use of miniplate skeletal anchorage
• Step-by-step interactive clinical hands-on teaching on 3D virtual imaging, diagnosis and orthognathic treatment planning
• State of the Art on 3D evaluation of treatment outcome of orthopedic and orthognathic treatment planning
• Separate dedicated sessions for both orthodontists and surgeons
• Multi-disciplinary breakout/brainstorm sessions for both orthodontists and surgeons

In order to make this clinical course as interactive as possible and to stimulate discussions, the speakers use cutting-edge technology that includes real-time live demonstrations on models broadcast by high-definition video, and real-time on-screen virtual demonstrations. Click here to register
