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 will also get access to the bonus recordings of the "LAB Day Workshop" where Dr. Wong spent a day at his Lab Technicians office and went into depth about fixing appliances specific to Postural Orthodontics
-
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.

VIDEO SUMMARY of phase 3...
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 plus the LAB Day recordings. 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.

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.
