Imaging in Orthodontics, TMJ & Airway Consideration.

Catalog description

Orthodontists have a fundamental interest in facial form, facial growth patterns, occlusion and any pathologic conditions that may alter them. Current three dimensional (3D) imaging techniques available for routine imaging provide the opportunity to utilize a "systems approach" in order to visualize and evaluate the functional and developmental relationships between proximal craniofacial regions. This course will discuss the use of 3D imaging to evaluate the developmental and functional inter-relationships between TMJ, occlusions, airway, and facial growth.
