Arch-bending strategies in the treatment of impacted teeth

Arch-Bending Strategies in the Treatment of Retained Deciduous Teeth

Practical Electrodont Course for Orthodontists

The correction of impacted teeth is one of the most complex biomechanical challenges in orthodontics—an improper force system not only prolongs treatment time but also poses unnecessary risks to the roots of adjacent teeth and to periodontal health. This course builds precisely on the knowledge that is truly needed in daily clinical practice: the design and implementation of targeted force systems.

This is a great opportunity to practice and prepare before the professional exam!  

Date: Friday, September 11, 2026, 9:30 a.m.
Location: 1126 Budapest XII. Kléh István street 9.

Speakers:

• Dr. Adelina Youssef

• Dr. János Horváth

Topics

This hands-on course focuses specifically on the repositioning of impacted canines, building on arch-bending techniques and biomechanical principles. Participants will gain hands-on experience in implementing targeted force systems. Through various clinical cases, we will review the force systems required for the repositioning of palatally and buccally positioned canines. The goal of the course is for participants to understand the biomechanics required for moving impacted canines and to master, through hands-on practice, the bending of custom springs that ensure precise force systems.

Participation fee: 90,000 HUF

Registration deadline: August 10, 2026

Minimum number of participants is 15, but limited to a maximum of 20.

The course will be accredited afterwards.

Why this course?

This workshop is not a theoretical overview, but rather a practical hands-on training. By combining arch-bending techniques with biomechanical principles, participants will master a level of precision that can be directly applied in their clinical practice.

By the end of the course, participants

Throughout the course, participants will explore the force systems involved in the repositioning of palatally and buccally impacted canines through various clinical cases.
The focus is on practical application: bending custom springs, adjusting the desired force and torque ratios, and selecting a biomechanical strategy tailored to the specific clinical situation.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to

• accurately determine the force system appropriate for the position of an impacted canine,
• bend springs by hand using their own parameters to achieve the desired movement,
• apply the biomechanical differences between palatal and buccal cases during treatment planning,
• and immediately and confidently incorporate the acquired knowledge into their daily practice.

Limited Seating

Since the course is based on a hands-on, practice-oriented teaching approach—every participant bends, tests, and fine-tunes the appliances themselves—the number of seats is limited. This ensures that every participant receives individual attention and feedback during the exercises.

Who Is This Course For?

We recommend this course to orthodontists who wish to take their knowledge of treating impacted canines to the next level and are ready to turn their theoretical understanding into practical skills.

Reserve your spot early—space is limited, but the knowledge you gain will last a lifetime.
