Coming Up Events
The Auxiliary Toolbox: Advanced Strategies in clear aligner therapy.

Unlock the full potential of clear aligner treatment in this intensive half-day workshop. Dr. Mohamad Al Husini will guide you through his proven “auxiliary toolbox,” demonstrating how to select and configure attachments, elastics, mini-screws, precision cuts, and other adjuncts to tackle any malocclusion. Through real-world case studies, you’ll learn practical tips and troubleshooting strategies for each auxiliary, discover decision-making algorithms to streamline your workflow, and gain insider tricks to boost predictability and patient satisfaction. Whether you’re managing simple aligner movements or complex biomechanics, this session will equip you with the hands-on know-how to elevate your aligner practice.

Eight Years of Naso-alveolar Moulding Experience in Jordan: Benefits and Outcomes.

Presurgical infant orthopedics has been used for centuries in the treatment of cleft lip and palate. However, traditional techniques often fail to address the nasal cartilage deformity in both unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate, as well as the columella tissue deficiency in bilateral cases. Naso-alveolar moulding (NAM) is a presurgical technique designed to reshape the alveolus, lip, and nose in infants born with cleft lip and palate. This approach reduces the severity of the cleft-related deformities, leading to improved surgical outcomes. The NAM appliance consists of an intraoral moulding plate with nasal stents, which work simultaneously to reshape the alveolar ridge and nasal cartilage. The primary objective of presurgical NAM is to minimize the initial cleft severity, eliminate the need for surgical columella reconstruction, and reduce scar tissue formation in bilateral cleft lip and palate cases. Cleft lip and palate treatment has been available in Jordan’s Royal Medical Services (RMS) since the late 1980s, with various presurgical orthopaedic techniques being implemented over the years. Over the past eight years, NAM treatment—seven years at the Royal Rehabilitation Center-RMS and one year at Al-Bashir Hospital (MOH)—has demonstrated significant improvements in primary surgical repair outcomes when compared to other presurgical orthopedic methods. This abstract provides an overview of the NAM technique, highlight the benefits observed over eight years of clinical experience, and showcase selected case studies.
