Speaker: Kelly Tanner, PhD, RDH

Malocclusion and misalignment can have profound effects on oral and overall health, contributing to tooth wear, gum recession, periodontal disease, TMJ disorders, airway issues, and even migraines. This course explores how to assess occlusion, interpret enamel loss and gum recession, and identify the underlying risk factors that may threaten long-term oral health. Participants will gain practical strategies to educate patients, develop effective treatment plans, and support them in achieving healthier, more functional smiles while preventing future complications.

Learning objectives:

• Analyze tooth wear and gum recession to identify underlying occlusal issues.
• Understand the relationship between occlusion, dental health, and overall systemic wellness.
• Develop strategies to educate and treatment-plan for patients with malocclusion or misalignment.
