Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics Online Course

The Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics Online Course provides comprehensive knowledge on the forces, mechanics, and principles involved in tooth movement and orthodontic treatment. Learners will explore the fundamental concepts of biomechanics applied in orthodontics, including force systems, archwire mechanics, and appliance design.

The course emphasizes practical understanding of orthodontic appliances, auxiliaries, and anchorage systems to achieve controlled tooth movement. Additionally, learners will study space closure mechanics, Class II and Class III corrections, aligner therapy biomechanics, and the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs). Completion of this course equips learners with the skills to plan and execute efficient orthodontic treatments using biomechanical principles.
