This course is for practitioners looking to extend their treatment services to children ages 4-10.  We will focus on the fabrication, delivery, and adjustment of lightwire expanders: the Bent Wire System (BWS), and the Advanced Lightwire Functional (ALF).  A tutorial in wire bending will also be provided.

You can dramatically extend the usefulness of the Myobrace System in your office by learning the Bent Wire System, a removable lightwire lingual appliance that can help develop the arch and align teeth is a more efficient and certain way.

The ALF is particularly useful for children age 4-6 to give them a headstart in maxillary development, and that is the application that will be taught in this class.

This hands on workshop will start from the basics of wire bending, the fabrication of the appliances, the clinical handling of the appliance, and finish with live patient examples.

We will also host veteran ALF practitioner and educator, Dr. Gavin James.  Gavin will teach us about the relevance of cranial strains to ALF design and adjustment, about the Quantum view of human biology and biomimetic treatment, and about the usefulness of muscle testing to guide therapeutics...all while learning your wire-bending and adjustment skills.

With some at-home practice, the student will be able to add these protocols to their service mix almost immediately.

The class size is limited to 12 students.

The tuition is $1850.00 with special discounts for AMR grads and Airway Advanced members.

You will need to provide orthodontic pliers and a USB camera for showing your work.

If you register by January 8, we will provide you with wire, two working models of the BWS, and an ALF to adjust.   

There are 14 AGD credits offered for this course.

This course will be held entirely online.
