Beyond Mechanics: The Biology-to-Business Equation for Orthodontic Success
Date and Time
September 24, 2026
12:00PM - 01:00PM EDT
About this webinar
Orthodontic treatment has long been rooted in mechanical principles, emphasizing force systems, appliance selection, and treatment protocols. Yet successful tooth movement depends on much more than mechanics alone. The biological response of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and surrounding tissues plays a critical role in determining the efficiency, quality, and long-term stability of treatment outcomes.
In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Michelle Yuching Chou will explore how integrating biological principles into orthodontic decision-making can transform clinical practice. Through evidence-based insights and real-world clinical cases involving fixed appliances and clear aligner therapy, participants will gain practical strategies to improve treatment planning, clinical efficiency, and patient outcomes.
This webinar is part of the monthly HSDM Specialty Lecture Series, monthly one-hour live webinars designed to fit your busy schedule. Earn CE credits while gaining practical clinical insights from HSDM faculty and invited experts.
