This course is designed for the entering graduate student to learn the essential principles of orthodontic appliances utilizing the typodont. The typodonts are occluded on a hinge articulator to simulate the typical malocclusion(s). Students bend wires and apply auxiliary force modules to move the teeth to correct the malocclusion. This course is augmented by introduction and discussions of orthodontic instruments, use of extraoral appliances, wire properties, an overview of engineering principles of orthodontic mechanics as indicated in the course schedule. Students will be assigned readings to prepare for the day's agenda. Moreover, this course is the entering students' first exposure to the graduate orthodontic curriculum; and sessions take up the entire day. Thus, the intense one-on-one time spent with the instructors, and senior residents is also critical for transition into the rest of the curriculum. The principal goal of this course is to train the beginning resident in the techniques and use of orthodontic appliances. Course prerequisite: enrollment in the Year 1 of graduate orthodontic specialty program.
