Hybrid treatment: the future of Orthodontics
Hybrid treatment: the future of Orthodontics
- Ideal finishing
- Limits of aligners and fixed appliance
- Hybrid treatment as future of orthodontics
Fixed appliances and clear aligners each carry inherent biomechanical limitations. Clear aligners underperform on torque control, vertical movements, and bodily displacement; fixed appliances has its own limitations, with some movement difficult to achieve. Hybrid orthodontic treatment addresses both — combining the two modalities within a single treatment arc, each deployed where its biomechanical properties are most effective.
In aligner-based treatment, a targeted preliminary phase resolves the movements aligners handle poorly, so the aligner phase that follows is shorter and more predictable. In fixed-appliance treatment, it streamlines finishing and improves the patient experience where brackets and wires fall short.
Grounded in the Sequential Control Technique, this presentation introduces a systematic framework for hybrid sequencing — covering movement categorization, phase transition criteria, and digital workflow integration. Knowing when and how to transition between modalities is the defining clinical skill of modern orthodontics.

Orthognatic surgery for growing patients
Orthognatic surgery for growing patients
- Understand why the conventional rule of deferring orthognathic surgery until skeletal maturity fails in severe skeletal dysmorphism, where growth amplifies rather than compensates for the deformity.
- Identify the indications and selection criteria for early interceptive surgery — documented functional compromise and a skeletal discrepancy beyond the reach of orthodontic or orthopedic treatment.
- Weigh the benefits of distraction osteogenesis and selective early osteotomies in redirecting growth against their risks — relapse, growth interference, and the need for long-term follow-up.
The traditional doctrine of waiting for skeletal maturity before performing orthognathic surgery remains valid for most patients. However, in cases of severe skeletal dysmorphism, growth does not normalize the face — it distorts it further. Orthodontic and orthopedic treatment alone cannot correct discrepancies of such magnitude, and delaying surgery until adulthood risks allowing the entire craniofacial architecture to reorganize around the deformity. Early interceptive surgery, through distraction osteogenesis and selective early osteotomies, aims to redirect growth rather than oppose it, restoring a functional baseline from which normal development can resume. Patient selection is critical: indications require documented functional compromise and a skeletal discrepancy beyond conventional treatment. The risks — relapse, growth interference, long-term follow-up — are real but must be weighed against the consequences of non-intervention. Early interceptive surgery is not an abandonment of prudence. It is its highest expression.

Flowable composites and other GC tools helping orthodontists achieve unique results
Flowable composites and other GC tools helping orthodontists achieve unique results
- The role of GC tools in simplifying restorative and finishing procedures within orthodontic workflows.
- Real clinical cases demonstrating how small material-driven interventions can create significant improvements in final results.
- How flowable composites enhance precision, aesthetics and efficiency in every orthodontic.
Orthodontic treatments are increasingly evolving beyond tooth alignment, requiring a more interdisciplinary approach to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes. This trend is not limited to adult patients but is becoming more common in younger cases, where comprehensive solutions are expected from the clinician. As a result, orthodontists must expand their clinical toolkit and develop greater autonomy in managing complementary procedures.
Flowable composites and other GC materials offer versatile, minimally invasive solutions that can significantly enhance treatment precision, finishing, and overall results. These tools allow orthodontists to address aesthetic refinements, minor restorative needs, and occlusal adjustments directly, reducing dependence on other specialists and improving workflow efficiency.
Through practical clinical examples, this lecture will demonstrate how integrating these materials into daily practice can lead to more predictable, efficient, and high-quality outcomes, ultimately helping clinicians achieve truly unique results.

Our interdisciplinary protocol for treating worn dentition
Our interdisciplinary protocol for treating worn dentitionn
- Dental wear patients
- Ortho-prosthetic interdisciplinary treatment
- Minimally invasive dentistry
New techniques and materials made it easier to achive great results by means of a minimally invasive approaches for treating worn dentitions. In challenging situations, in order to keep the minimally invasive perspective, collaborations between prosthodontists and orthodontists may be needed. Dental wear patients require modifications and individualization of orthodontic workflow, from bonding to finishing. Moving into the digital tools age, it is easier to blend the orthodontic and restorative phases for an optimal esthetic and functional result. Ortho-prosthetic esthetic treatment planning, decision-making and clinical workflow will be the main subjects of the conference. The audience will be guided through each step of the interdisciplinary clinical protocols. Complex clinicalcases will highlight the philosophy behind our interdisciplinary collaboration.

Skeletal Class III Correction with MOV’ Aligners: Bridging Virtual Planning and Clinical Management
Skeletal Class III Correction with MOV’ Aligners: Bridging Virtual Planning and Clinical Management
- Comprehensive Diagnosis and Growth‑Based Management of Class III
- Digital Planning, Biomechanics, and Aligner‑Based Treatment Protocols
- Advanced Approaches: Camouflage, Skeletal Anchorage, and Surgical Integration
This presentation will outline key principles for optimizing clear aligner therapy, with a focus on clinical decision-making from case selection through finishing. The mechanical differences between aligners and fixed appliances will be reviewed to clarify their respective advantages and limitations. Strategies for the correction of Class III malocclusion will be explored to support more predictable treatment planning. Selected clinical cases will be presented alongside detailed virtual setups to illustrate staging protocols, biomechanical considerations, and finishing approaches. The session aims to provide a practical, clinically oriented framework to enhance efficiency, predictability, and overall treatment outcomes using MOV’ Aligners.

Best Practices in Archwire and Archform Selection
Best Practices in Archwire and Archform Selection
- Three wire sequences for simplified treatment
- Initial archwire planning and sequencing
- Concepts behind the use of Tandem Archwires
- Pre-coordinated BioActive Rectangular NiTi Wires
- Detailing and Finishing in Pre-formed TMA Wires
Although most orthodontists are well-versed in bracket systems, many overlook the importance of the shapes and properties of the wires selected to treat a variety of patient arch forms. Many of these same doctors often oversimplify their approach and miss out on many efficiencies that are available to them with a more personalized and yet systematic archwire selection. This program will open your eyes to a more thoughtful approach that is easily learned and implemented for improved outcomes and efficiencies with passive self-ligating systems.
