This course is ideal for General Practitioners, Pediatric Dentists, and Orthodontists who want to expand their expertise in early prevention orthodontics. Whether you plan to treat young patients directly or refer them appropriately, the course equips you with the knowledge to make accurate diagnostic decisions and initiate early treatment when necessary.

Unlike traditional orthodontics, which often focuses on visible signs and delayed intervention, this course introduces a functional, evidence-based approach centered around Sato’s Craniomandibular Orthodontics. It emphasizes early diagnostics, physiological mandibular positioning, and vertical dimension control to guide natural growth and reduce the need for surgery or extractions later on.
The course is focused on treating children of any age—from early milk dentition through mixed dentition stages. You’ll learn how to identify early signs of dental and skeletal malocclusion and implement treatment at the right developmental stage.

This treatment concept is effective in managing a wide range of malocclusions and issues such as:

  • Class II and III Malocclusions

  • Crossbites

  • Mandibular Lateral Displacement (MLD)

  • High or Low Angle Skeletal Growth Patterns

  • TMJ Disorders in children
    By addressing these issues early, the approach significantly reduces the need for future orthognathic surgery and premolar extractions.

After the course, you’ll gain:

  • A new, efficient treatment concept that avoids removable appliances and prioritizes functional diagnostics

  • Evidence-based techniques that support skeletal and dental development

  • Enhanced ability to protect the TMJ and improve overall physical health

  • Immediate tools to implement early orthodontic treatment and become a leading provider in your area for pediatric dental care
