Class II elastics open the bite exactly when you cannot afford it. Crossbite corrections tip instead of correcting. Finishing drags on for months because the occlusion will not settle. Elastics are the lowest-cost mechanics in orthodontics, yet most clinicians use them on feeling, without a protocol — and pay for it in side effects and treatment time. Mastering Elastics in Orthodontics turns elastic therapy into a system. Prof. Kleber Meireles covers the essential biomechanics of intermaxillary elastics, then works through every clinical configuration: where to attach Class II elastics (canine, archwire, sliding jig, auxiliary hooks) and how to manage their vertical side effects with heavier wires and occlusally placed hooks; multi-vector Class III mechanics within facial limits; vertical elastics for anterior open bite closure; cross and asymmetric configurations; and the intercuspation protocols that actually finish a case. You also learn to verify force with a dynamometer, decide when elastics replace expensive auxiliaries like mini-implants, and hold corrections with at least three months of active retention for bone and fiber consolidation. What's inside — 7 modules, 16 lessons • Module I — Introduction to the Intermaxillary Elastics (1 lesson) • Module II — Class II Elastics (5 lessons): horizontal and vertical effects, application points, reducing extrusion with heavier wires, unilateral use in subdivision cases, anchorage control and use after distalization • Module III — Class III Elastics (3 lessons): anteroposterior correction, multi-vector use with vertical components, upper anchorage management • Module IV — Vertical Elastics (2 lessons): anterior open bite closure by extrusion of anterior teeth, pure vertical and combined Class II/III vectors • Module V — Asymmetric Elastics (1 lesson): midline deviations and subdivision corrections • Module VI — Cross Elastics and Intercuspation Elastics (1 lesson): dental vs skeletal crossbite, inclination control, bite blocks and palatal buttons • Module VII — Intercuspation Elastics (3 lessons): triangular and square configurations, settling the occlusion, maintenance and retentionIncluded in the members area: • 2 bonus lessons • E-book: 10 Topics About ElasticsWho this course is for: orthodontists who see their patients monthly and want predictable, low-cost mechanics for Class II, Class III, vertical and transverse corrections — instead of defaulting to expensive auxiliaries. It is not for caseloads dominated by severe skeletal discrepancies that require surgery, and it will not help if you cannot monitor patient compliance: cooperation is a core variable, and the course teaches you how to manage it. 15-day money-back guarantee. Apply one protocol — even a single Class II elastic setup with proper force verification — and if it does not improve your control, request a full refund within 15 days. Prof. Kleber Meireles has taught 700+ students across 131 countries, with treatments that used to take 4–5 years resolved in under 2 — biomechanics first, hardware second.
