Finishing & Detailing – PART 2

Professor Rabie continues to discuss how to perform finishing and detailing to finish your cases to excellent standards.
With this lecture, you will look into transverse correction, midline correction, closing residual spaces, when to do interproximal stripping, eliminating anterior black triangles, you will learn how to reduce treatment time by performing finishing & detailing during AP correction, how to obtain perfect interdigitation in the occlusion, dive deep into learning 3rd order bends and necessity of arch coordination.

What Will I Learn?

• Reduce treatment time by performing Finishing & Detailing throughout treatment.
• How to obtain perfect interdigitation in the occlusion.
• When to do interproximal stripping.
• How to correct transverse discrepancies.
• How to correct midlines.
• How to close residual spaces.
• How to eliminate black triangles anteriorly.

What Wire Bending Mechanics will I Learn?

• Individualized root torque
• Bending progressive root torque.
• Arch coordination.

Why is this Clinically Relevant?

Finishing & Detailing will significantly reduce treatment time AND provide excellent results.
In addition, bending root torque into a wire will eliminate the need for flipping brackets, repositioning brackets and even using high-torque brackets. When you can detail your own torque with a wire, you can control how much torque is applied.
