ORTHO 3 - Orthopedic/Orthodontic Mechanics I
Ortho 3 Training and Ortho Case Round Table with Clayton A. Chan, DDS
(The 3rd program in a Continuum Series of Special Courses - Meeting the Needs of Advanced Clinicians)
Course Description: “Orthodontics Level 3”
Prerequisite Course: General Dentist - OC Levels 1, 2, 3,4 and Ortho 2 (Initiation of Orthopedic/Orthodontic Treatment)
Orthodontic Specialist - OC Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and Ortho 2
AGD Subject Code: 370 Orthodontics
The focus of this program is to give clinicians the next steps toward implementing orthodontic/orthopedic mechanics. Anyone who has only done Ortho 1 and 2 are highly encouraged to proceed with this course as it takes you not only through some review of diagnosis and basic orthodontics you have already undertaken, but it truly puts the many pieces together on how to sequentially approach GNM ortho, techniques and protocols at another level. A half day will be spent on case presentation from participants to review treatment success and areas for improvement allowing treatment planning of difficult case. Cases started using orthosis therapy, class II crowded cases, and moderate cases using adjunctive treatments mechanics will be reviewed and discussed. This is like a mini-residency atmosphere as the doctors review their own cases together. A lot of questions will be answered in these sessions.

TESTIMONIALS: What Other Doctors said about OC Ortho 3
"I just spent the weekend with 9 amazing people who were at Ortho III. 6 students, Joe Liwag from JML Dental Laboratory, and of course Clayton and Jane Chan. The system that Dr Chan has developed to replace the orthotic with the patient's teeth is so clever, so precise, and so understandable that I can't wait to get to work tomorrow. It astonishes me that one person, Clayton Chan can figure all this stuff out. We learned techniques that allow us to maintain the optimized bite throughout treatment. Only a few people in the world know how to do this. I don't know any University trained orthodontists who think this type of treatment is even possible. I am so grateful that everyone involved with Occlusion Connections is so amazing." - Roger Anderson, D.D.S., Seattle, WA (Levels 1, 5, Ortho 1 and 2)
"Ortho 3 was an amazing course with top notch doctors in an intimate setting. Time was well spent on analyzing cases and treatment planning. I thought doing NM ortho is cutting away the orthotic and erupting teeth. But there is verticalization and there is GNM VERTICALIZATION steps for specific category. That page alone worth the whole course, ...... In fact, I spent the whole afternoon reviewing the course manual, after arriving home. There are many nuances to pay attention to in order not to lose sight of the trajectory. As always, it is always a pleasure to reconnect with old friends and make new friends." - Hoa Nguyen, D.D.S., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, (Levels 1-7, Ortho 1 and 2)
"It was an incredible course. I am amazed that just when I think I have heard it all, Clayton manages to present something from a slightly different point of view that stimulates all sorts of new thoughts and ideas. I also want to thank everyone for making this course another amazing experience....
I have been to all the courses and have never been
disappointed. I walk away each time with
my head full of new thoughts. OC is simply the best place to learn occlusion concepts
that will enable the doctor to truly help their patients." - Greg Yount, D.M.D., Mattoon, IL, (Level 1-7, Ortho 1 and 2)
"Holy
GNM trajectory, Batman! Gotham
and anyone interested in orthodontics should hereby take notice! If
you are a GP who is either doing some ortho having been trained elsewhere OR
are not doing ortho (yet) and are wondering if it's really viable for you to do
your own tooth movement OR you want to understand what the specialist is doing
(or not doing) OR you're an orthodontist who either encounters (now and again)
some challenges with cases like excessive mobility, facial pain, joint issues
or patient complaints that aren't resolving during therapy. ...(that's a lot of
"OR's", I know).... the OC Ortho courses along with OC Level 1-4 are
(4) incredibly powerful classes that will lead to greater patient success,
greater professional and personal fulfillment not to mention increased
income stream and future referrals! Imagine
learning in an intimate setting with anywhere from 6-12 colleagues, high
quality audio- visual displays, an easy-to-read, well-referenced
compilation of text, tables, graphics and photos to follow along in your
notebook during lecture and serve as a continual resource back at the office,
snacks and a delicious healthy all-you-can-eat lunch, hands-on demonstrations
at every level course, access to a Forum of like-minded doctors to
discuss cases and bounce ideas around, the opportunity to ask questions at any
time to insure your understanding of the material and professional contacts and
comradery.... it's almost to much to ask for from a CE course!
Dr
and Mrs Chan are the most gracious and talented dental professional duo I have
encountered in 25 years of dentistry. Going the extra mile to host your visit
to Vegas and insuring that you leave satisfied with the quality and content of
each course. ...there simply are not enough adjectives to express the warmth,
the genuineness and the honesty with which they conduct themselves and
treat each participant. If
any of us thinks we know Ortho, I assure you there is still much to learn and
if you thought you knew gnathology, occlusion and neuromuscular concepts. ....
well, there is a little bit more or there to learn." - Bruce Greenstein, D.M.D., Pinecrest, FL (Level 1-4, Ortho 1 and 2)
"Just got back from Ortho 3 and Clayton saved his best for the last class of the year! Just when you think he can't make another huge, info-filled, excellent manual, all of his late night and exhausting work pays off again! Wow! To see how simply his sophisticated process can be done by all of us is so helpful and encouraging. What a benefit to us and our patients! If you have been considering pursuing Ortho, the time is now and Clayton's course is what you need. You and your patients will be glad you did. So great to see how well the other Ortho OC docs are doing with what Clayton has so graciously shared with us in Ortho 1-3! And Biomimetic as well :)
Thank you Clayton and Jane for all of your time and effort and the way you care for all of the OC family." - Jon Caulfield, D.D.S., Littleton, CO (Levels 1, 2 Ortho 1 and 2)
"...from a personal experience, I went into it with
much reservation, because it is an inconvenience to a restorative minded
dentist, and it requires a change of gear sorta speaking... however, it has
come to be an integral part of my practice now and has grown every year. Coincidentally,
I have increased my fees for it every year.
Clayton's system is really straight forward and
simplified, I know, as I had other training before and I felt that much of the
others spend a great amount of time scaring me about what I did not know, what
I realized is that they are the ones missing the main thing, the jaw
position. So then they have to come up with all kinda crazy mechanics to over
come what we do naturally with our bites...We do what they can't...and in the
process make our patients healthier than what they were when they walked
in.
Go for it, its is the natural progression to what we have
started." -
