Wilckodontics® and the AOOTM Procedure

Wilckodontics® and the AOOTM Procedure is organized by Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine (NSUCDM) and will be held from Mar 25 - 26, 2023 at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine, Davie, Florida, United States of America.

Course Description:
The trend in orthodontics over the past several decades has been to improve the treatment for patients through advances in metallurgy and chemistry. This can be seen in the evolution of arch wires, bands, brackets, cements, and bonding materials. These advances have improved the manner and efficiency with which the orthodontic forces are transferred to the crowns of the teeth. But in spite of all these advances most conventional fixed orthodontic treatments still require 1½ to 3 years to complete.

The AOOTM procedure has solved this dilemma by exploiting the dynamic of bone physiology and redirecting the emphasis in tooth movement to the manner in which the supporting bone responds to orthodontic forces rather than just concentrating on the manner in which the forces are applied to the teeth. By stimulating and harnessing the innate potentials of living bone the teeth can be made to move through the bone very rapidly and when the tooth movement is completed the bone around the roots of the teeth will rebuild itself.
If you have a prominent orthodontic or periodontal practice or would like to cultivate one, take advantage of what the Wilckodontics® System has to offer you and your patients. If you act quickly, you can become the first professional team in your community certified to offer the 3 to 8 month Wilckodontics® treatment. To increase the flow of new patients to your office you need to be perceived as the best. We can help you in this regard and keep your practice on the cutting edge.

Respecting your patient's limited time will increase the perceived value of your orthodontic treatment. With the Wilckodontics® System most adolescent and adult cases can be completed in ¼ the time needed for conventional orthodontics. There is also a significant reduction in the number of adjustment appointments. The drastic reduction in treatment time and adjustments also translates to fewer problems such as appliance breakage, etc. A periodontal surgical procedure is required to activate the bone and lay the groundwork for the formation of the new alveolar support around the roots of the teeth following the completion of the orthodontic work.

Course Objectives:
At the End of this Program Attendees will come to understand:
• How to move teeth rapidly and complete most expansion and retraction cases in 3 to 8 months.
• How to utilize the patented AOOTM appliances that have been developed specifically for this procedure. Without these appliances many cases cannot be completed in a very rapid fashion.
• How to custom design anchorage systems and deliver the appropriate forces needed to accomplish the rapid tooth movement.
• The bone physiology that permits rapid tooth movement in conjunction with minimal root resorption.
• What grafting materials and decortification schemes work best in the different orthodontic scenarios.
• What carrying solutions are preferable.
• How to lessen the need for orthognathic surgery in certain situations.
• How to avoid potential pitfalls.
• The principles that aid in case selection. Although the majority of cases can be treated using the AOOTM procedure, there are certain scenarios that should be avoided.
• How to lessen the need for extractions and deliver a full prominent smile.
• How to utilize the fax routing forms which makes it easy to coordinate the treatment between offices.
• How to easily incorporate the AOOTM procedure into your office routine
