POSTURAL ORTHODONTICS VS ORTHOTROPICS
'When can I learn how to treat severe malucclusions vs just milder cases?'
Postural Orthodontics is a unique approach to early intervention utilizing existing techniques (Orthotropic principles and appliances) and new methods and protocols that are evidence-based and results oriented.
Dr. Wong's philosophy is more of a conservative approach to learning and practicing Orthotropics. He's specifically created Postural Orthodontics as a bridge to more complicated Orthotropic type cases. Postural Orthodontics is thus a training and mentoring program that spans a few years (roughly 18 months to 2-3+ years depending on the existing experience and dedication of the student). It is a combination of theoretical training (2-day introduction plus the Advanced Phase 1, 2 and 3 programs) and formal mentoring ('Phase-4') over at least 1 year where you can submit simpler 'expansion only cases' or 'mild skeletal malocclusions' for Simon's feedback and critique every couple of weeks.
After this 1 year of mentoring, if you pass a verbal exam and show substantial enough progress during this first year...then you may be eligible to access Phase-5 training which is 2-days of recorded training covering Orthotropics theory.
Phase-6 would then be mentoring students with their Orthotropic type cases with more severe malocclusions. If Simon feels after 12 months of Phase-4 mentoring you are not ready to take on the more complicated cases, he will advise accordingly. You then have the option of continuing Phase-4 type mentoring...3 months at a time until you are ready for the next level. (You can learn more about Phase-4 and beyond...down below.)
HOW THe 'PHASE 1, 2 & 3' ADVANCED PROGRAM WORKS
After you enroll in the 'Phase 1, 2 & 3' package, here's what will happen:
-
You'll get instant access to Phase 1 recordings (12.5 hours from a live 1-day event and bonus Q&A sessions) inside our digital course platform, called "Teachable", where we house all the training as well as instant access to the bonus recordings of a 1-Day Clinical with Dr. Wong. On 5th July 2021, we recently recorded the visit of a dentist to Dr Wong's private practice Natural Smiles Centre, in Melbourne, Australia where we documented on video (professionally shot in 4k and HD) the full interactions he had with 19 patients during the day. 7 of these 19 patients had more in-depth 'case review' commentary by Dr. Wong, going over their x-rays and photos etc.
- You'll have to first complete watching the Phase 1 course (including the bonus Q&A sessions) before we unlock the Phase 2 course for you. Phase 2 includes 22.5 hours of content from a 2-day live event and bonus Q&A sessions. Likewise, you have to complete Phase 2 before Phase 3 is unlocked etc. (Phase 3 includes 22 hours of live mentoring calls with Dr. Wong where he gives written and verbal feedback regarding private patient cases submitted by Phase 3 students). This method ensures you're following the teaching sequence as designed rather than jumping around inside the course.
-
When you complete a particular Phase, you have to email us at info@straightteethnaturally.com requesting your "Certificate of Completion" for the relevant Phase. We'll then issue you a CPD certificate for the phase you completed and manually unlock your access to the next Phase inside our digital course platform.
-
9-Months Additional Access To Our Postural Ortho Closed Facebook Group For General Q&A Support: Throughout the Phase 1-3 process, you can submit general questions (non-patient specific questions or case studies) related to the course content inside our closed Facebook group "The Postural Orthodontics Community" which is for paid members only. Dr Wong is moderating this group and answering questions inside.

MAIN FOCUS OF PHASE 3 TRAININGS
Phase 3 was originally held live over a 3 month period (6 Q&A Zoom calls every 2 weeks, with 2 bonus sessions, so 8 in total) and was designed to be a 'preview' of Phase 4 live mentoring whereby students are allowed to submit private case studies for Dr. Wong's feedback. During this Phase 3 training, only simpler 'expansion only cases' (mild skeletal malocclusion) were allowed to be submitted and in total 73 cases were critiqued via the Zoom calls every 2 weeks and Simon also made written comments inside the PowerPoint slides that were submitted with patient information for Simon to review (name and identities anonymized of course.)
You will get all the recordings of these EIGHT Q&A Zoom calls (each around 3 hours in length) where Simon commented on each of the 73 cases and allowed students to ask further questions as well. The recordings and the PowerPoints of each of these 73 cases are available as part of this Phase 3 training. There are no live Zoom Q&A calls as such linked to Phase 3 anymore (only recordings of the previous live version of Phase 3.) Live Q&A Zoom calls on a fortnightly basis with Dr. Wong, where you can submit private case studies for review, are now part of Phase 4 and beyond. Access to details about Phase 4 can be found in the FAQ section below.
Please Note: Phase 3 Does NOT Include Private Case Critiques From Dr. Wong Anymore

DOWNLOAD CASE STUDY EXAMPLE
As mentioned, you'll get access to 73 such case studies as part of Phase 3. Please note, these are "expansion only cases" (mild skeletal malocclusion). Orthotropic complex cases (moderate and significant skeletal malocclusion) are reserved for a later phase of training (Phase 5 and beyond.)
DOCUSIGN AGREEMENT: FOR NON-DISCLOSURE OF PRIVATE PATIENT CASE STUDIES
After registering for this package (Advanced Course Phase 1, 2, and 3), you'll get immediate access to the Phase 1 recordings and the recordings of the 1-Day Clinical with Dr. Simon Wong. Before you get access to the Phase 3 training you will also need to sign an electronic agreement whereby you acknowledge you will get access to the 73 private case studies as submitted by students (where the patient has been anonymized) and nevertheless promise not to share these case studies with anyone.

faq
What happens after I enrol in the Phase 1, 2, 3 package?
You'll receive your tax receipt and a series of follow up emails.
Shortly after you register, you'll receive an email from "STAR Producer Academy" that will prompt you to create your password. As soon as you do, you'll get instant access to Phase 1 recordings AND the recordings of the 1-Day Clinical at Dr. Simon Wong's practice Natural Smiles Centre. All these videos and download materials are inside a 3rd party digital course platform, called "Teachable", where we house all the training.
Can I jump to Phase 3 content?
No. You have to first complete watching the Phase 1 course (including the bonus Q&A sessions) before unlocking the Phase 2 course. Likewise, you have to complete Phase 2 before unlocking Phase 3.
When you complete a Phase, you have to email us at info@straightteethnaturally.com requesting your "Certificate of Completion" for the relevant Phase. We'll then issue you a CPD certificate for the phase you completed and unlock your access to the next Phase inside our digital course platform.
Can I submit my private client cases for Simon to critique?
To reiterate so there is no confusion, when we first rolled out Phase 3 in 2020, some folks who paid a premium back then (more than we are charging now for Phase 1-3). Those folks were allowed to submit private cases live during a 3 month period following our specific protocol (see below for an example). With this new format of our Phase 1-3 program, it is more of a self-study program. However, what you can do is submit questions inside our closed Facebook group (additional 6-months of Q&A support from Simon) that are related the recorded training material you have access to, or general questions couched in a way that will help you with your private cases.
We also highly recommend you study our 'VAULT' of 73+ cases that have been personally critiqued by Simon both on Zoom (you have access to the recordings) and inside the Powerpoint slide (which we have converted into PDF format). The cases are categorized into 10 sub-segment of folders including:
Class I (Crowding Retrusion, Spacing Protrusion)
Class II (Div 1, Div 2)
Class III (High Angle, Low Angle & Pseudo Dental)
Openbite (Dental or Skeletal)
Miscellaneous
Inside these cases you may find the answers to you questions for your own particular cases!
You can NOT however submit similar case information, with x-rays, photos and ceph analysis, history notes etc for Simon to critique inside the closed Facebook group. Facebook is NOT HIPAA compliant and we have a separate HIPAA compliant online system where you can send private cases for Simon's review if you decide to join the next level - which is the Phase 4 program.

What happens after I complete Phase 1 and 2...and 3? (Phase-4!)
After completing Phase 1, 2 and 3, you can apply to join our Phase 4 program which is ongoing so you can join at any point in time. Phase 4 is a fortnightly mentoring program for a 1-year period. Every 2 weeks you can submit up to 2 'expansion only cases' (mild skeletal malocclusions) of your private patients for Simon to critique via our HIPAA compliant, secure 3rd party platform called 'Healthie'.
Every fortnight, Simon also runs a live Q&A Zoom call inside this HIPAA compliant environment for 3 hours on Sundays starting at 9am (Melbourne Time.) Please note, if you enroll into Phase 4 within 30-days of completing Phase 3, you are also eligible to a discount of US$2,000.

Can we submit questions directly to Dr. Wong?
Is there any money back guarantee?
Unlike the 2-day intro program which comes with a money-back guarantee...there is NO money back guarantee on the Advanced Phase 1-3 program. By now you've 'trialed' the Postural Orthodontics method via the 2-day intro program, and should have a decent idea whether you want further training and support. As we provide valuable intellectual property as soon as you register (downloadable resources etc), we want to make it 100% clear that all purchases are final.
Also, please note, from time to time we offer various specials (and partial scholarships depending on the circumstances) and 'Group Buy' discounts if more than 1 people sign up together etc.

further information about postural orthodontics
What are the learning objectives of Postural Orthodontics?
- Evaluating facial growth patterns and a rational choice of diagnostic and therapeutic orthodontic treatment procedures in the developing malocclusion
- Minimizing skeletal, dentoalveolar and muscular problems, by the end of the transition to the permanent dentition.
- Simplifying and/or shorting treatment time for later corrective orthodontics
Why learn Postural Orthodontics & the GOPex Method?
- Improves facial harmony
- Creates room for crowded teeth & increases tongue space
- Reduces airway collapsibility
- Stabilizes orthodontic corrections
- Helping the largely ignored market of 3-11 year olds
-
Makes it possible to have straight teeth naturally
Historically, orthodontic literature rarely advocates for Phase 1 therapies because very few have shown improvement over teenage fixed appliance protocols.
Postural Orthodontics and the GOPex exercises is a new, innovative way of early intervention orthodontics that has been highly effective. Our approach, based on Orthotropic principles and foundations, addresses malocclusion based wholly on clinically trialled & proven methods.
And when it comes to sleep disorder breathing and vital function health, new research points out the many great benefits of targeted early intervention—which is precisely the reason for our methodology.
Why the GOPex Method?
GOPex (Good Oral Posture exercises) are powerful and effective in improving airway disorders and compliance issues.
That’s because they strike at the very root of malocclusion.
They are short (10-15 minutes), simple exercises that are easily incorporated into the family’s daily routine, truly helping patients change their habits—unlike the majority of myology programmes.
Dr. Sandra Kahn has also developed the GOPEX App. to optimize compliance. Using the app, parents can get direct feedback from the practitioner on their child’s exercise techniques.
Please download for free our GOPex book to learn more. Or you can purchase a copy on Amazon here.
Why the Postural Orthodontics system?
Each presenter has a different philosophy and technique so it becomes very confusing having to decide who is "more' right than the other and whose philosophy/technique to "buy into". What was your journey into Orthotropics and how is Postural Orthodontics different from other early intervention courses and techniques?
How It All Began
---> CONTINUE READING NEXT COLUMN --->
My experience in teaching in Europe has highlighted how different Orthotropics is from any form of Orthodontics. I realised that success would only be possible with a complete back to basics education process with studies in understanding growth literature and controlled "hand holding" supervision of students. So in 2019, I made the decision to roll out such a programme – which I simply call ‘Postural Orthodontics’ that would take students down the path of Orthotropics but only via a safe passage through evidence based Orthodontic avenues.
The programme I devised would build foundation over a number of years. Beginning first, using John's Tropic Premise to modify accepted early intervention orthodontic therapies then developing experience using appropriately selected cases and well designed and produced appliances.
My programme is different to many early intervention courses. Typical early intervention programme I've attended has always pressed one overriding message of; "You can do it! You should do it! You owe it to the world to do it!" (Something along those lines.)
My goal is the opposite and is to throttle down all my students' enthusiasm, to minimize poor choices in case selection and set parameters that would only allow treatment to provide successful outcomes, every...single...time. The discipline needed for patients to succeed is always overshadowed and pales into insignificance compared to the discipline the doctor needs to say "NO" to the cases that are beyond their capacity.
The programme I have created, has been systematically spread out into multiple phases, an initial module of the 2-day Introduction to Postural Orthodontics (with an extra 10 hours of Q&A sessions that have been recorded as well) followed by a comprehensive Advanced program - Phase 1-3, all of which has been recorded and placed online for on-demand access...over 68 hours of further training combined with 6 live Q&A sessions spread out over the course of the year (which you can join at any point in time with the way we have structured our training.)
We also have an optional 1-day clinical (which will be recorded if you can’t physically come visit my practice) and other further advanced Biobloc Orthotropic training, weekly case study reviews of your patients and fortnightly live Q&a
