Dr. Mark Musso, a general dentist, is a pioneer and trusted doctor in the field of dental sleep medicine for children and adults. He majored in zoology at Texas Tech University before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston in 1994.

Dr. Mark is excited to be able to focus exclusively on Dental Sleep Medicine and the health and well-being of his patients.

Dr. Musso continues to work at advancing his dental and sleep education. He believes that not all patients are the same and their sleep, orthodontics, and TMJ/TMD needs are individually unique. The truth of this hit home when Dr. Musso recognized airway problems facing his own son. Interceptive treatment changed the trajectory of his son’s overall well-being and improved the lives of his entire family.

The course introduces a new concept of orthodontic diagnosis, planning and treatment, breaking paradigms and allowing the orthodontist to understand how the skull grows and malocclusions develop; its morphological characteristics, its very close relationship with posture and the balance system, enabling the comprehensive treatment of our patients in borderline orthodontic cases (Cl II, Cl III, Cl I with severe crowding, MLD facial asymmetry, open bites), without orthognathic surgery or palatal disjunction), and also the redirection of growth in children.

Topic 1: What is biophysiological orthodontics

Bone biology, the secrets of passive self-ligating, MOPs, and more.
What is posterior discrepancy, and how to manage it.
Identification and management of occlusal planes (anterior & posterior)
Passive eruption vs. active eruption vs. extrusion.
Differences between the conventional system and the biophysiological
system.
Can I get the same result with any prescription bracket?

Topic 2: My Mechanics

Arch development: when, why, and how to accomplish it.
Vertical dimension as the key to adequate correction of Class 2, Class 3, and MLD cases.
Shimbashi: individualized vertical dimension
Working wires, transition wires, and finishing wires.
GUMMETAL wires (GEAW, MEAW, MOAW, Mulligan’s Overlay Arch).
Conventional elastics vs. optimized elastics (how to use the adverse effect to our advantage)
Why Early Short Light Elastics
Control and management of occlusal planes

Topic 3 Spheres of Function – Curves of Compensation

Geometry of Occlusion – Prof. Slavicek
How the TMJ really works and why TMJ first, and then BPO
The importance of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), the art of disarticulation, reasons for disarticulation
How to avoid joint compression (compression = condylar resorption
= dysfunction) How to close an open bite without generating joint compression Identify the difference between when it is a Full arch intrusion or an intrusion only for the anterior tooth Full arch intrusion, correction of gummy smiles – Storino Protocol

Topic 4: What do I need to change in my patient?

The true etiology of malocclusions
Correct diagnosis of malocclusions
The importance of functional occlusion
Where to look in the cephalometry
Bracket position – differential bonding?
M.A.D.S – Maxillary Arch Development System
Step-by-step treatment of low- and high-angle Class II
Step-by-step treatment of low- and high-angle Class III
Complex cases
Finishing our cases
Good occlusion function (sequential guide to canine- dominant disclusion – Prof. Slavicek)
