Open bites with aligners and TADs, splints for TMD patients and cantilevers for impacted canines
Three practising orthodontists — Arturo Vela-Hernandez from Valencia, Dan Andrei Iacob from Bucharest and Francesco Fava — present Orthodontic Innovation Summit: Leveraging Digital Workflows & TADs as six case-driven lessons totalling 5.5 hours. The programme pairs biomechanics with practical protocols for three hard problems: open bite, orthodontics in patients with TMD, and impacted canines.

What you’ll be able to do
- Plan open bite correction with clear aligners on sound biomechanical grounds
- Add skeletal anchorage to aligner treatment in advanced malocclusions
- Assess the TMJ and mandibular movement before starting orthodontics
- Select stabilisation, repositioning or functional splints and combine them with tooth movement
- Bend and activate cantilevers to bring impacted canines into the arch
Inside the course
Open bite with aligners and mini-implants
The first pair of lessons tackles myths about aligners in open bite, the research behind vertical control, frequent diagnostic mistakes, and staged tooth-movement plans with auxiliaries and TADs, illustrated by patient cases.
Orthodontics for the TMD patient
Planning principles, joint evaluation and mechanics in TMJ dysfunction lead into a practical splint lesson: indications, appliance types, choosing by signs and symptoms, and adjusting the splint or the orthodontic plan over time.
Cantilever mechanics for canines
Why canines impact, why cantilevers can be more predictable than elastic traction, and a chairside bending sequence with advice on avoiding biomechanical side effects, closed by case discussion.
Built for
- Aligner-focused orthodontistsProtocols for the vertical problems aligners are often thought to handle poorly.
- Orthodontists treating adultsGuidance for patients who present with joint symptoms.
- ResidentsClear explanations of cantilever design and activation.

Before you buy
How much of the “digital workflow” in the title is software training?
Little; the lessons focus on biomechanics, planning and clinical cases rather than step-by-step software use.
Are the cantilever lessons for fixed appliances?
Yes, cantilevers are bent chairside as part of fixed mechanics, separate from the aligner lessons.
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.
