Class II treatment with Dual Activation mechanics and bite-jumping auxiliaries
Low friction has brought enormous advantages to every Straight-wire technique. Passive self-ligation has it’s focus points in reducing friction and thereby increasing efficiency in the speed of leveling and alignment and sliding mechanics. Nevertheless, friction is not an enemy to the orthodontist and it is essential for three-dimensional control of tooth movement. Dual Activation mechanics are the key to efficient alignment, torque control and a beautiful and effective finishing. The lecture will focus on the most efficient and effective approach to class II malocclusions using a Dual Activation system and auxiliaries such as the Powescope, the Power bar and intra-oral distalizers. Both compliance and
no-compliance mechanics will be discussed and as well the role of TADs in modern orthodontics.
Learning objectives:
• The characteristics of the Dual Activation System
• The hardware of the treatment phases
• The strategies to solve class II malocclusions
• The use of the Powerscope, Power bar and no-compliance molar distalizers
Guido Sampermans
Clinical excellence and efficiency using an active self-ligating bracket system
This lecture focuses on Dr. Sampermans' clinical experiences working over the last 11 years with active self-ligating brackets, having finished over 5000 cases with this type of bracket. The freedom of sliding using thin heat-activated super elastic wires changed the treatment procedure dramatically. The interaction of the clip and bigger rectangular wires overcomes many previous torquing problems. This very clinical lecture using several patient examples, gives a detailed overview of diagnosis, treatment planning, wire sequences
and mechanics using self-ligating bracket systems, along with lots of clinical tips and tricks.
Course Objectives:
• Historical review of the pre-adjusted appliance system
• Changes in treatment planning: asymmetric extractions
• Advantages of self-ligating bracket systems
• Clinical use of friction and binding
• Prescription selection
• Differences between passive and active self-ligating systems
• Important keys to bracket placement with recommendations for direct and indirect bonding
• Leveling and aligning, including extraction and non-extraction treatment and arch wire sequencing
• Accurately and efficiently establish a stable arch form and coordinating arch wires
• Efficient space closure using light force sliding mechanics and loop mechanics
• Finishing with predictable and precise clinical outcomes

Customized prescription in non-surgical cases with Empower System. Management of the friction.
Orthodontic treatments have evolved beyond standardized approaches, requiring customization to address the specific needs of each patient. The Empower System stands out by combining the advantages of self-ligation with the flexibility to adjust prescriptions, torque, and angulation, optimizing both efficiency and biomechanics. One of its key benefits is friction management, which plays a crucial role in treatment progression. The system offers both active and passive self-ligation, allowing orthodontists to adapt forces and improve control over tooth movement, leading to more predictable results. Additionally, selecting the appropriate slot size (0.018 vs. 0.022) and archwire sequence enhances precision and biomechanics throughout treatment.
Beyond theoretical concepts, clinical cases will showcase how Empower’s versatility translates into real-world applications, demonstrating its impact on different malocclusions and treatment strategies. This lecture will provide a comprehensive understanding of how to integrate Empower into daily practice, improving both treatment outcomes and patient comfort.

Since several years now the orthodontic treatment with aligners became increasingly popular, not only due to constat evolution of materials and techniques but also due to high demand to esthetic treatment and speed. The „classic“ bracket has become the ultimate enemy of relative short treatment time and good looks, for the adult patients rather becoming inclined to aligners. However the evolution of materials and techniques did not happen only in the „world of plastic“ but also in the „world of metal“. The door for new concepts and ideas has been wide opened.
The technological advancements in bracket and wire technology, and the inclusion of skeletal anchorage has opened new possibilities in treating even the most difficult and severe forms of malocclusion without the need for surgical assistance. All-in-one digital plans, solutions and appliances are becoming increasingly popular as they offer less chair time for the orthodontist and reliable and fast treatment option for the patient.
Skeletal discrepancies, retained teeth, severe tooth malposition can be tackled with competence and finesse. Self-ligation systems and TAD based appliances offer unprecedented biomechanical advantages and can be effectively used with little patient compliance. The level of effectiveness is not only based on high quality materials and technology, but also on the vast possibilities of advanced digital planning. This lecture will rock your world, the star metal duo: self-ligating brackets with skeletal anchorage appliances.
