Missing and Impacted Teeth Management: Integrating Orthodontic Strategies With or Without Implants

Join Dr. Michelle Chou, Harvard-trained orthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, as she explains practical strategies for managing missing and impacted teeth. Learn approaches for natural tooth substitution, space closure, guided eruption, and implant or prosthetic integration, plus techniques to accelerate adult treatment — all designed for lasting esthetic and functional results. Suitable for specialists and general practitioners, regardless of prior orthodontic knowledge or experience.

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
– Understand the orthodontist’s role in interdisciplinary management of missing, impacted, and unerupted teeth in both children and adults.
– Evaluate key considerations for treatment planning, including space closure, prosthetic replacement, and guided eruption with 3D arch expansion, in both children and adults.
– Recognize evidence-based strategies to accelerate tooth movement without resorption in adults for more efficient and effective treatment.
– Apply collaborative approaches to achieve long-term esthetic, functional, and biologic stability.
