Dr. Menzel is entering her fifth year of working with Damon Ultima. In this course, she will showcase her in-depth clinical experience with issues that arise in treatments.
About the course
This is a journey taking us through understanding where this unique, controlled treatment system has come from. What the key points of its functionality are, how it works and why it has made orthodontic Fixed appliance treatment so much simpler once we understand this. The journey will take us through bracket placement, choice and wire sequencing understanding how and where we now control all the orders of orthodontic movement. The auxiliaries used in Ultima will be looked into and demonstrated, looking into what may be used when and how. All of these different aspects of the journey will be underlined with detailed treatment case discussions.
