Dr. Heinz Winsauer
FLEX DEVELOPER™ the unbreakable Class II correction device

This One-day-course mainly focuses on orthodontists and dentists, who want to improve their treatment technique in compliance free class II.
The difference, the advantages and the disadvantages between Cl II „pulling“ appliances (Cl II elastics) and Cl II „pushing“ appliances and especially the Flex Developer® will be explained. Indications and contraindication will be explained thoroughly. This easy to insert appliance will make Cl II corrections fast and fully compliance free. Side effects like bite opening do not appear. The Flex Developer is a highly robust and unbreakable appliance that will most likely fulfill your expectations of Cl II correction. The Flex Developer is also a reliable tool to create space in the upper arch without headgear. Even more the FD is a most effective to close spaces after agenesis of lower second premolars. A very powerful indication for the use of the FD is the dental decompensation of skeletal Cl III cases prior to orthognathic surgery.
Like in many orthodontic practices the life of our patient is becoming busier and more complicated. In most cases time efficient and cost efficient solutions with excellent results are expected. The routine use of the Flex Developer will meet your own as well as the patient’s expectations of an efficient treatment. We all know that the most valuable asset is chair time. The ease of use and the robustness of this appliance are reliable factors to achieve these goals.
Every participant will be personally trained to place a Flex Developer in a typodont. Different activation steps and the removal of the appliance will be done under supervision step by step.

​Lingual Orthodontics and Biomechanics – Part 2 
The importance of the lingual laboratory process for the lingual success with HANDS-On laboratory process – creating a complete real case in 2 days.​
​This full 2-day course will provide all the necessary technical understanding and laboratory skills to either individualize any kind of lingual bracket on a set-up model or by using the Accurate Bracket Positioner (ABP). The ABP allows the precise customization of any kind of lingual or labial bracket directly on the malocclusion model in 30-34 min. per arch. For every tooth, torque, angulation, IN/OUT, mesio-distal position, rotation, intrusion and extrusion can be individually positioned. The brackets can be easily transferred by using the indirect bonding methods SMART JIG, SMART CAP, or INDIV CAP. 
  • Creating a Set-Up Model
  •  Positioning the brackets and creating the individual arch wires
  •  Creating the individual bases and the individual transfer caps
  •  Direct and indirect bonding, fabrication of archwires, finishing and over-correction bends and treatment protocol
  •  Individualizing lingual brackets without a Set-Up Using the Accurate Bracket Positioner
  •  Combination of bracket systems, create your wire templates, coordination of wires.
Brackets, wires, and typodonts for the Hands-On part will be provided by Adenta GmbH.

​Custom-made Lingual Orthodontics CLO
Great demand for orthodontics in adult patients makes us to look for more esthetic solutions. The development of materials, laboratory techniques and casuistry increase have lead to the development of a CLO lingual technique with excellent results and with completely systematized in protocols, just as labial technique. Predictable results, specific bonding systems, and standardized bonding sequencing allow this technique to enrich our therapeutic rmamentarium, being the technique of choice with patients with a great esthetic demand, with deep bite or with hystogenetic dental dysplasia, but applicable to almost all cases.

Why is CLO3 a simplified treatment for the clinician?
  • Small and comfortable brackets are used, with low friction light forces and 3D control from 1st bicuspid to 1st bicuspid.
  • We have developed a transfer trays system which makes bonding customizing the prescription.
  • The arch wires are adapted and customized indirectly on the initial model.
  • The final position of the teeth is achieved through customized prescription of the brackets and customized arch wire.
​
What advantages does the CLO3 have for the doctor?
  • Increase the number of different treatments offered in you and esthetic solution to the patients who don't want other kind of treatments.
  • Reduces the chair-time and treatment time using the CLO3 kit.
  • To break into the lingual orthodontics in a simple and safe way.
What is CLO3?
  • CLO3 is an adaptation of Dr. Echarri's CLO Technique (Custom Orthodontics) used in treatments of minor dental movements in anterior zone.
  • It consists of 3 steps:
  • Indirect 4-to-4 bonding
  • 1st customized arch
  • 2nd customized arch
  • Treatments between 3 and 6 months

In which cases the CLO3 is indicated?
It is indicated for the correction of:
  • Anterior crowding with vertical control of inclination and torque.
  • Anterior spacing without torque loss and with inclination and midline control.
You should send us the initial model, and LADENT will send you the CLO3 kit, which includes:
  • Lingual brackets and transfer tray
  • 1st and 2nd customized arch
  • Customized arch template
