Non-Cooperative Patient
Every dentist that has done a significant amount of Orthodontics has struggled at one time or another with an uncooperative patient. Many of the treatment options available to the clinician involve a certain amount of patient support, but what do you do when the patient is not doing their part? Many times this situation results in compromised results, as the doctor is limited by factors outside of his/ her control.
Now, with a variety of tools and and understanding of forces, it is possible to treatment plan around these areas of frustration, eliminating or greatly reducing the need for appliances and tools that require patient participation. By knowing these techniques, you can achieve more consistent results, and take much of the stress out of Orthodontics. Dr. Don McGann has developed the new “Non-Cooperative Patient System” to achieve these consistent results, and will be teaching you the tools at your disposal (skeletal anchorage, coils, etc) as well as the forces necessary to properly use these tools. This seminar will greatly improve your Ortho practice, and give you a new level of control of your cases.
With the “Non-Cooporative System,” the following is possible:

With the “Non-Cooporative System,” the following is possible:
- correct class II without elastics or headgear
- anchorage plan to eliminate patient cooperation
- no more 2-step retraction (almost never)
- no more TPA for anchorage (almost never)
- no more LLA for anchorage (never)
- reduced use of T loops
- reduced force anchorage

- T loop archform reforming
- Skeletal anchorage (more!)
