Early Prevention and Interceptive Orthodontics Course
  • Understand the Ontogenetic Occlusion Development and Rules for Occlusion
  • Diagnosis and Treatment planning to treat malocclusion at an early stage
  • New tools to prevent and intercept malocclusion without the need for patient cooperation
  • Apply a treatment approach which is based on biological principles
  • Offer innovative treatment concepts to parents for their children
  • Parent Education and Increased Case Acceptance
  • Prevent future dental and health problems by correcting mandibular malposition in early stages of development
  • Future Perspective: Occlusal Medicine, the New Foundation of Dentistry

“The IDEA Orthodontic Program with Roberto Velasquez, Miles Guyton, Prof. Sato, and Heike Kraemer is not competing with conventional orthodontic treatment; it is a tremendous improvement over conventional orthodontic treatment.

Almost all the patients, including the children, being treated at the IDEA Faculty Clinic – Center for Craniomandibular Dentistry and Occlusion Medicine have been treated previously with traditional orthodontics. They present us with headaches, TMJ pain, pain in their neck and shoulders, altered condylar morphology, and an occlusion (or better malocclusion) that is not stable. With our diagnostics and orthodontic treatment in Sato’s approach, the malocclusions are corrected, the condyles remodel, the occlusion is long term stable, and the patients’ symptoms are gone.”

Dr. Pohl was a phenomenal educator. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable and very forthcoming with her successes and not as successful cases, for us the participants to learn from her vast experience. Definitely the best hands-on course I have taken in this field of implant dentistry. I will follow Dr. Pohl's continued contributions to implant and periodontal surgeries, techniques, tips and tricks.   The whole IDEA experience has exceeded my expectations and I will be back for additional courses. Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

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
