Dental CE Course: Core II: Orthotic Maintenance, Adjustment and Essential Aesthetic Reconstructive Techniques

Core II is designed to be a life-changing, live-patient, aesthetic treatment program with hands-on, personal experience in the management of a Neuromuscular Orthotic.

There is a power and a spirit within you that once unleashed, can never be stopped! The core of the LVI Philosophy of Dentistry, this life-changing experience, is designed to ignite your spirit, increase your clinical confidence and fulfill your boldest imaginations. As the clinician completely responsible for the artistic result, this course is presented to prepare you to gain the knowledge of comprehensive aesthetics, occlusion, case presentation and marketing skills during this program. These skills should give you an increased feeling of confidence and pride.

This intense, hands-on, live-patient treatment program concentrates on developing a critical eye for aesthetic excellence as well as completing the foundation to help patients enjoy a life free of pain and physiologic compromises. This course includes comprehensive clinical training, practical occlusion concepts, creating a positive philosophical attitude and effective case acceptance principles and appropriate risk management procedures.
