| Content: |
Orthodontic treatment has become significantly more important in recent years, particularly in Asia, for correcting jaw deformities. In addition to aesthetic aspects, the functional normalisation of the masticatory system is becoming increasingly important to avoid subsequent incorrect loading of teeth and particularly in the temporomandibular joint area. For these reasons, the course comprehensively covers the normal facial growth, development of deformities, the importance of TMJ and their early treatment options with pediatric functional orthodontics. You will learn all aspects of Orthodontic treatment from diagnostics, planning, orthodontic treatment with functional European appliances and their impact on aesthetics. The essential know-how is conveyed through didactically prepared teaching content in self-study, live lectures by internationally renowned professors and practical exercises. |

| Functional (Pediatric) Orthodontic treatment in Children and Adolescents: |
Module A focuses on providing an overview of orthodontic treatment involving appliances that are not fixed permanently to the teeth, but which can be inserted and removed by the patient themselves. Through electronic learning units, students will acquire knowledge of the various indications and functions of differently designed removable treatment appliances, how they are manufactured, and the properties of the materials used. The course also covers functional orthodontics, which can achieve growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting therapeutic goals. Another focus is on the usability of splints for various therapies. Various case studies support the teaching of extensive basic knowledge. |

| Treatment with fixed appliances: |
Compared to traditional therapy with removable treatment appliances, the increased use of modern fixed appliances, known as multibracket appliances, can compensate for significant disadvantages in orthodontics. Students gain a comprehensive overview of appliances that are permanently cemented to the teeth, e.g. palatal expansion appliances, as well as common multi-bracket systems that are attached using various adhesive techniques. The learning units in this module focus on developing decision-making skills regarding the use of different types of appliances, their properties and clinical application. Interactive, web-based presentations of comprehensively documented treatment cases support the use of the web-based learning units. |

| Case treatment under supervision: |
In the clinical supervision course, 10 cases must be treated orthodontically. The treatment is regularly monitored and checked online by experienced professors and orthodontists. Appropriate treatment measures are discussed and also demonstrated online. |
