Dr. Dr. Martin Baxmann built the early orthodontic treatment course on his LEAN ORTHODONTICS\u00ae system, refined over more than two decades in his own practice and in teaching. Clinicians from many countries, more than 1,864 so far, have attended his courses. The early treatment course applies this logic to the youngest patients in your practice. Afterwards, you classify findings reliably, choose the right appliance and deliberately keep the active phase short.<\/p>\n
Instead of theory on slides, the one-to-one format centers on cases from your own clinic. You apply what you discussed at the chair before the next appointment. This turns the early orthodontic treatment course from a mere knowledge update into a permanent part of your treatment spectrum.<\/strong><\/p>\n Which findings truly belong in early treatment, and which can you calmly monitor? The early orthodontic treatment course starts with exactly this question, because a clean indication saves the child wear time and saves you chair time. Typical candidates for early intervention are:<\/p>\n Behind each of these findings lies its own mechanics, from rapid maxillary expansion to the face mask to the simple space maintainer. To help you use these tools purposefully, the interceptive orthodontics course links each indication to a measurable treatment goal. An expansion, for example, only counts as complete once the functional shift has disappeared and the mandible closes centrally again.<\/p>\n This list of indications is part of the core program that any good early orthodontic treatment seminar should cover.<\/strong> We go one step further, though. You bring photos, models and findings of your young patients to the calls. As a result, the early orthodontic treatment course never works with invented textbook examples.<\/p>\n The course follows a fixed sequence of findings, diagnostics, goal, appliance and monitoring. First, you use models, photo documentation and a clinical functional analysis to clarify whether an X-ray is needed at all. Then you define the goal and end point of the measure. A clear stopping criterion prevents a short early phase from turning into years of continuous treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Only then does the appliance come into play. You justify every appliance, from the expansion plate to the face mask, on the specific child in the early orthodontic treatment course. For removable appliances, you plan compliance in from the start, for example via short wear-time checks and small milestones that even eight-year-olds understand. In addition, the Orthodontic Course<\/a> shows how the early phase later transitions into Class II therapy, aligners or fixed appliances.<\/p>\n In the early orthodontic treatment course, you learn that not every irregularity in the primary or mixed dentition justifies an appliance. Cochrane reviews show, for example, that an early Class II phase mainly reduces the risk of incisor trauma but rarely improves the final result beyond that. That is why the early orthodontic treatment training openly says when waiting is the better therapy.<\/strong><\/p>\n We use this orientation as a starting point:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t![\"InOffice](\"https:\/\/dr-martin-baxmann.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/inoffice-powerweek-kfo-praxis-management-dr-martin-baxmann-fortbildung-1024x683.jpg\" "\\"InOffice")
