Treating the underdeveloped maxilla in a seventeen year old patient with the Homeoblock™

(see below)
Treating the underdeveloped maxilla in a seventeen year old patient with the Homeoblock™ frees up the cranial sutures and harnesses the corrective force.
The left central and lateral incisors are forced labially due to the tight occlusion.
Below: We see before and after six months of Homeoblock™ treatment. We see the before treatment is on the left side and after treatment is on the right side throughout.
Despite the increase in the size of the alveolus the spaces between the teeth begin to close. We postulate that the teeth move into position due to temperal-spatial patterning. (Genetic programming)
We see wider more prominent cheekbones, fuller lips, more level eyes and a reduction in the bagging under the eyes in the after photo.
Changes in the maxilla results in an enhanced profile.
Morphometric analysis shows an increase of almost 2mms in the malar region, the upper lip and the pre-jowl and marionette area.
We see improved symmetry and fullness of the upper lip.
This presentation is a good example of enhancing facial appearance along with tooth movement over just six months of night time only adult treatment with the Homeoblock™ Appliance.

Excellence in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics (EODO)
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2009

DENTAL EDUCATION CENTER
7/85 Bourke Road, Alexandria
NSW 2015 Sydney, Australia
Course Overview:
Introduction to the Homeoblock™ Appliance
Diagnostic and treatment protocol
Jaw development and tooth movement
Treatment for the airway & TMJ
Facial development and anti-aging techniques
Designing cases and adjusting the appliance
Bring study models and facial photos for case treatment planning and design.
Course Introduction
The body is encoded for certain specific developmental mechanisms
· Sutural Homeostasis
Suture width remains at 250 microns.
· Jaw function
Teeth retain functional occlusion.
· Facial Symmetry
The external body is encoded for symmetry.
This course presentation allows the dental practitioner to harness the body’s natural ability for self correction through gene environmental interaction using encoded developmental mechanisms and the natural physiologic process of swallowing.
We can change the architecture where the teeth, the face, the joints and the airway are found. The result is an improved physiologic function.
Course Highlights
· The Homeoblock™ appliance and why it is different from all other dental appliances.
· How do applied intermittent light forces on teeth move teeth effectively?
· How do the periodontal ligament and the adult facial bony sutures contribute to facial, airway and TMJ development?
· Clinical examples of adult facial, airway and TMJ enhancement.
· Using state of the art 3D technology for patient evaluation before and after Homeoblock™ treatment.
· The protocol for a possible exit strategy for sleep apnea patients wearing a CPAP device.
· A non-surgical facial anti-aging protocol.
· Jaw development and tooth movement in conjunction with light wire or Invisalign
Dr. Belfor’s presentation is open to all doctors NO CHARGE.
