The Bimler appliance from the Bimler laboratory — design, activation, cephalometrics and cases from children to adults
Dr. Barbara Bimler, who runs the Wiesbaden laboratory founded on her father Hans Peter Bimler’s work, teaches Functional orthodontic treatment. Bimler`s appliance over nine lessons and 12 h 40 min. She explains types A, B and C of this removable functional device, how to build, fit and activate it, how to read a Bimler cephalometric analysis, and how to treat open bite, deep bite, Class III crossbite and adult or cleft patients.

- Construct a standard type A appliance, including arch, springs and acrylic
- Read a lateral ceph with Bimler’s compact analysis and the correlometer to predict outcomes

- Adapt functional treatment to interceptive, crossbite and adult cases
Inside the course
The appliance and its logic
Early lessons describe night wear without anchorage, therapeutic force levels, individual adaptation limits, communication with young patients and the role of records, then take the device apart component by component.
Building and adjusting
Model work, assembly sequence, arch and spring fitting mistakes, interdental springs, the Equiplan and the “law of the ellipse” are shown, along with decision cards for design and arch analysis.
Diagnosis with the teleroentgenogram
A full lesson is given to Bimler cephalometrics: skeletal landmarks, the suborbital facial index, curve of Spee, stress axis, soft tissue forecasting and signs of likely relapse.
Clinical scenarios
Case lessons cover open and deep bite, first molar extraction, impacted canines, mouth breathing, the Tandem appliance for anterior crossbite, early treatment timing, palatal defects and adult patients with TMJ problems or periodontal risk.
Built for

Before you buy
Why do the first two lessons look alike?
The 32-minute introduction previews the same topics that lesson 2 then expands, so expect some repetition at the start.
Is it useful without Bimler appliances in my practice?
The diagnostic and functional principles transfer, but most practical content concerns building and adjusting this particular appliance family.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
