Course Overview
This single-day course demonstrates the management of mild to moderate overbite and overjet. This course will also teach attendees how to undertake a single tooth extraction.
Delegates should attend IAS Academy’s Fixed Braces Level 1 course or another provider's introductory Fixed Brace course and complete at least five fixed-brace cases before booking this level-two course.
What Is The Format Of The Course?
AM
Program morning
- Case selection
- Planning, space analysis and mechanics for single tooth extraction
- The biomechanics for single tooth extraction
- Practical – placing PC across extraction space
- Overbite – identification of skeletal overbite
PM
Program afternoon
- Biomechanics for OB reduction – use of NiTi rocker arch
- Practical – placing NiTi RCOS archwire in lower
- Overjet and buccal correction using Cl II
- Biomechanics for OJ reduction and how to use elastics
- Practical – placing hooks and elastics
Course Benefits

- Plan ‘simple’ extraction cases (e.g. lower incisor)
- Understand and identify when to increase non-skeletal deep overbite
- Use NiTi RCOS to achieve OB reduction
- Understand and identify when Cl II elastics are required
- Able to use CL II elastics to aid overjet reduction
