Dental CE Course: D602 - Occluso-Guide/Nite Guide

This course combines D600 and D601, covering both the Occluso-Guide and the Nite-Guide. See descriptions of D600 and D601 for course content.

This is a diagnostic and treatment planning course designed around the use of the Occluso-Guide, a retainer type mouth guard which slowly moves misaligned teeth into their proper positions. The Occluso-Guide was developed by Dr. Earl Bergersen, an orthodontist who graduated from North Western University, and who has lectures extensively world wide. Indications and contra-indications for the use of the Occluso-Guide will be given, and one patient will be followed on video tape from beginning of treatment through retention. Each appointment and the progress achieved is well documented.
