Dahl Principle in Detail and Auxiliary Ortho Appliances Workshop

This workshop is designed to help you understand how to perform the steps that can create smiles not only to improve appearance but to improve function, guidance, and gain better long term occlusal stability in your cases. The Dahl principle can be used to carry out interceptive restorative treatments in wear cases that can give many more of your patients a chance to avoid tooth preparations and be far more affordable too.

Tif will also cover techniques to show how the Dahl principle works for direct restorative treatment as a direct splint and to gain space and in orthodontics and to place retainers with a functional safer outcome. He will cover a step by step approach to approaching Dahl cases, from case selection to order of management.

 This unique day will also demonstrate many cases and long term follow up of restorative and orthodontic cases. Tif has been using the Dahl principle and direct bonding techniques with and without orthodontics for 25 years and has pioneered and developed the concept of ABB for 15 years with hundreds of cases completed and numerous long term follow ups documented.  

With this knowledge you will learn how, using these protocols, you will have the ability to offer a lifelong restorative plan for your patients that are achievable, affordable and aesthetic.

 The second part of the day will explore the plethora of simple removable appliances that are available to assist in orthodontic and restorative treatment.  It will help you slice large numbers of aligners off treatment plans with appliances that have comparatively minimal cost. You will learn about and have hands on experiences with numerous simple appliances you can use immediately that can dramatically shorten treatment times, and reduce costs. This will include fan screw expanders, sectional expanders, powerchain appliances and even Inman Aligners. We will also even talk about clear aligner modification for refinements.
