Course overview

The study of the mechanical behavior of human tissue and non-living factors that influence those tissues is known as biomechanics. This assessment of biomechanical qualities is used in orthodontics to determine how orthodontic equipment affects oral tissues, especially teeth and bone. Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics certification course is created by Gustavo Gameiro - Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and is presented by Udemy.

Foundations of Orthodontic Biomechanics online training is designed for individuals who wish to learn the fundamental principles of biomechanics as they apply to orthodontics such as the center of resistance, the center of rotation, and analogous force systems, and equilibrium.  With the help of Introduction to Orthodontic Biomechanics online classes, individuals will have access to 5 hours of resources that will help them understand any appliance or orthodontic procedures, particularly those required for solving complex cases, as well as explain the physical and biological laws that control the movements of the teeth.

What you will learn

Knowledge of anatomy

After completing the Foundations of Orthodontic Biomechanics online certification, individuals will be introduced to the fundamentals of the biomechanics involved with orthodontics. Individuals will explore the concepts like center of resistance, the center of rotation, equivalent force system, equilibrium, and tooth movement as well as will acquire knowledge of physiological modulation and pharmacological modulation. Individuals will learn about techniques related to intrusion arch, lingual arch, occlusal splint, molar derotation, molar expansion, protracting molars, and uprighting molars. Additionally, individuals will learn about the steps in the fabrication of statistically indeterminate appliances and statistically determinate appliances for tooth movement and orthodontic correction.
