This is a 4 day intensive course aimed at maxillofacial and orthodontic trainees and was over-subscribed. Claire shared her opinions about the pre-surgical orthodontic preparation of patients with class III malocclusions, in particular the importance of keeping the upper third molars (upper wisdom teeth) in situ, in case upper second molar position becomes problematic during treatment and need to be extracted.
