Inside the course
Foundations and Planas laws
The early lessons define balanced occlusion and the physiology of mastication, then set out the Planas functional masticatory angles and the laws governing development of the stomatognathic system.
Clinical protocols
Treatment sequences for deep bite, open bite and Class II and III cases lead into therapeutic mandibular posture change, matched to each malocclusion with its parameters and limits.
Laboratory construction
Step-by-step wire bending and acrylisation cover indirect simple and compound tracks, the Equiplan variant and the OSS4 inferior wave bar model.
Built for
- OrthodontistsAppliance selection and clinical protocols in the Planas concept.
- Dental techniciansFull laboratory construction of every track variant.
- Functional orthopaedics cliniciansA complete team workflow from diagnosis to device.

Before you buy
Is this for clinicians or technicians?
Both. Orthodontists learn selection and clinical use while technicians learn to build the appliances, so it works best for a team.
Does it cover the laboratory side in detail?
Yes. Several lessons walk through wire bending, acrylisation and finishing for each track variant.
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.
