Five Easy Applications of Ceph Analysis and why this is important for growing patients. Important data from the soft tissue for all ages and how to apply the ancient art of face reading.

Course Objectives

• The focus will be on a few easy measurements to help identify the Class 2 and the Class 3 growth patterns as well as the vertical growers. It is helpful to coordinate the timing of treatment of adolescent’s growth spurt wrt the mandible. Within a few minutes we can have a wealth of information and be confident on how to achieve the most effective results.

• We can also learn a lot for our adult cases as soft tissue can often mask skeletal patterns.

• You will be able to apply this and the ancient art of face reading and personality traits at your next chairside working day!

Sometimes younger patients can benefit from using appliances to make their experience with Invisalign quicker and more predictable.

Through expansion, distalization and M/D correction in a preteen patient, we can take a considerable amount of time off the overall treatment of these patients.

Appliance use is very straightforward and can be accomplished quite readily by a general dentist using Invisalign.

Treating our younger patients with Invisalign is sometimes avoided due to concerns of the doctor of treating a growing patient. In this webinar, we will try to demystify the 9 to 15 year old demographic and make it possible for you to begin treating simple cases of this group tomorrow.
