COURSE OBJECTIVES: WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND OUR 2-DAY INTRO?
Natural growth can work for or against our children. Learn how simple disciplines in posture - based on Orthotropic principles (specifically our "GOPex" Good Oral Posture Exercises) along with our removable appliances (lower & upper expanders) can correct malocclusions and develop optimal growth of the jaws and face.
Straight Teeth Naturally
Learn our 7-step framework to help young children develop straight teeth naturally without extraction or surgery. Our approach is about working within the system: widespread adoption is key.
Build Your Practice
Parents invest 3-5X more in Postural Orthodontics than other early intervention treatments. This is a largely untapped market which can complement traditional Orthodontic treatment
Help Children Early
Perhaps most importantly, early intervention (3-10 yrs) will help you recognize health issues, address growth imbalances & can also shorten treatment time for later corrective orthodontics
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO ORTHOTROPICS?
POSTURAL ORTHODONTICS:
PRINCIPLE-BASED
ORTHOPAEDICS
Dr. Wong's method is a unique approach to early intervention utilizing existing Orthotropic principles and techniques as well as new appliances and protocols that are evidence-based (backed by peer reviewed literature) and results oriented.
His philosophy is more of a conservative approach to learning and practicing Orthotropics (as pioneered by Prof. John Mew). He's specifically created Postural Orthodontics as a bridge to more complicated Orthotropic type cases.
WHAT MAKES THIS 2-DAY SEMINAR DIFFEREnT?
Most 2-day introduction courses give you just a glimpse into the lecturer’s clinical process. You get a taste but not much more. However, with our program (for Premium Ticket or Livestream ticket holders) we give you instant access to the recordings from last year's 2-day intro. event which was held in Sydney, so you can review the material before the event itself, plus you get...
...PRESENTATION SLIDES/PRACTICE TEMPLATES, RECORDINGS & Q&A Support from Dr. Wong & 300+ PAST ATTENDEES inside a PRIVATE Facebook Group
The result? After our 2-day event, according to Mr. Enrico Di Giovanni, Dr. Wong's lab technician who we refer folks to, the majority of attendees order our special lower expansion appliances to see for themselves just how effective they can be.
We take a different approach.
Our goal is to make this program as practical as possible. If you purchase either a live attendance ticket (Standard or Premium category) or just a Livestream ticket (if you aren't able to go to Sydney, Australia) we make available the practice templates and presentation slides of the event.
With a Premium or Livestream Ticket you also get the recordings of the event as well as INSTANT ACCESS to the recordings of last year's 2-day introduction to Postural Orthodontics livestream event. This way you could basically go through the entire training before you attend the live event in June and thus will be able ask more pertinent questions to help you deepen your understanding of the course material.
Additionally, with a Premium or Livestream ticket you also get direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong until 3-months after the live event in a private Facebook group for paid members only. With a Standard ticket, you get Q&A support until just 1-month after the event. After this direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong, you can still remain inside the closed Facebook group and get the support of over 250 like-minded airway-centric practitioners.
(Please note, you can only submit general questions related to the course material inside this closed Facebook group. Private patient info/photos/x-rays should not be shared etc). Additionally, with a Premium or Livestream ticket you also get direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong until 3-months after the live event in a private Facebook group for paid members only. With a Standard ticket, you get Q&A support until just 1-month after the event. After this direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong, you can still remain inside the closed Facebook group and get the support of over 250 like-minded airway-centric practitioners.
We'll also dive into our unique appliances ‘The Wong Widgets’ (as we affectionately call) as well as our secret sauce: ‘GOPex’ (Good Oral Posture Exercises.)
So if you have an orthodontic foundation, wishing to add effective early intervention into your practice, you could get started right after the event.
"But what if i want to go deeper?"
Don’t worry, if you want to achieve incredible results not only in the transverse, but AP and vertical also, we’ll be offering more advanced training, mentoring and practice visits down the track. The '2-Day Introduction to Postural Orthodontics' is the basis and prerequisite to the Advanced Postural Orthodontics programme. So first things first. Begin your journey to mastering the Postural Orthodontics method by registering for the 2-day intro course below...

...AND STAR OF THE NETFLIX SPECIAL 'OPEN WIDE' FEATURING DR. WONG AS WELL.
WATCH DR. WONG'S EXCERPT FROM 'OPEN WIDE' ON NETFLIX
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM ORTHOTROPICS?
Many of you are here because you are familiar with Facial Growth Guidance or Orthotropics as pioneered by Professor John Mew and his son Dr. Mike Mew. Prof. Mew is in fact one of Dr. Wong's biggest influences professionally and a great mentor of his. We are of course thrilled and honoured he will be speaking at our 2-day event in June (via Zoom livestream).
So how is Postural Orthodontics different?
Dr. Wong's method is a unique approach to early intervention utilizing existing Orthotropic principles and techniques as well as new appliances and protocols that are evidence-based (backed by peer reviewed literature) and results oriented.
In addition, 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. So Postural Orthodontics is about learning how to 'walk' before one 'runs'. It's about first learning how to treat simple 'expansion only cases' (mild skeletal malocclusions) in younger patients aged 3-11. During these earlier years growth guidance is a whole lot easier both in terms of compliance and when the child's bones are still more malleable versus when they hit puberty.
While Dr. Wong has developed a full time practice based on treating more severe malocclusions, Postural Orthodontics is designed to provide the foundation that he believes is necessary before one should embark on Orthotropics.
Please also note that Dr. Wong's methods are not for adults and are only designed for young children aged 3-11 (ideally before the age of 7).

"The greatest impact that this technique has had on my patients is the dental and facial changes we achieve. As months pass by, we see these patients look prettier, their mothers tell us, and it is true!
At the level of my practice, the biggest impact has been economical. I have increased the volume of patients in an astonishing way. A reason for this is that I now treat children with ages that I didn’t treat in the past.”

Is it safe to travel to Australia during the fire season?
With bushfires affecting large areas in Australia, you might be wondering whether it's safe to travel to Sydney.
An estimated 10 million hectares (100,000 sq km or 15.6 million acres) of bush, forest and parks across Australia has burned. About one billion animals are now estimated dead in Australia's fires. (See a visual guide to the Australia fires)
It's true that this is one of the worst fire seasons in Australia’s history, and the losses have been devastating, but fortunately the fires haven't ravaged Sydney and Melbourne.
Simon Westaway, executive director of the Australian Tourism Industry Council, tells CNN Travel that while the fires are vast, "Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and the Barrier Reef, as with much of Australia, is in essence unaffected by these fires."
Tourism Australia released a general press statement on January 3, taking a similar tone by writing "many areas are unaffected and most tourism businesses are still open."
Sydney itself is presently safe from the fires, as is Melbourne, though the coastal regions between these two cities have been hit hard.
***
So we can say, with reasonable certainty, that it is safe to travel to Sydney, especially in the end of March when the fire is expected to be under control.
Please, follow the latest news on the media.
How you can help
You can donate directly to one of the following organisations:
Victorian Government
The Victorian Government, in partnership with Bendigo Bank and The Salvation Army, has established a fund for affected families and communities. According to the government's website, an advisory panel will recommend where funds are distributed. More at vic.gov.au/bushfireappeal.
Australian Red Cross
Since July, the Australian Red Cross has assisted more than 18,600 people affected by the fires, according to its website. The organization says that it is currently supporting thousands of people in evacuation centers and recovery hubs. Learn more about where your money goes and donate at redcross.org.au.
First Nations Communities:
Musician and community rights advocate Neil Morris, a Yorta Yorta man, has created a GoFundMe page to provide "culturally sensitive, specific direct support" to First Nations Communities displaced by the fires. Donations – which have reached nearly $600,000 – fund temporary relocation costs, basic amenities, resettling expenses and more. Learn more at au.gofundme.com.

The organization says that it is currently supporting thousands of people in evacuation centers and recovery hubs. Learn more about where your money goes and donate at redcross.org.au.
First Nations Communities:
Musician and community rights advocate Neil Morris, a Yorta Yorta man, has created a GoFundMe page to provide "culturally sensitive, specific direct support" to First Nations Communities displaced by the fires. Donations – which have reached nearly $600,000 – fund temporary relocation costs, basic amenities, resettling expenses and more. Learn more at au.gofundme.com.
Can I purchase the recordings of the live stream?
If you get the Premium VIP ticket, it includes the recording of the livestream as well as instant access to the 2021 2-Day Introduction to Postural Orthodontics livestream event.
Alternatively, you can also purchase the recordings of this virtual seminar as an add-on to your live stream ticket. Right now, for just an extra US$200 you will get the 2022 recordings approximately 14-days after the event.
And as a special bonus, you will get INSTANT ACCESS to the recordings of the same 2-Day Intro program we conducted in July 2021. This way, even before the live event, you can watch the entire program before the Livestream in July 2022. (Please note, this past recording normally sells for US$997 as you can see here.)
As you know, repetition is the mother of learning so attending the live stream in an immersive 2-day environment will provide you the best experience and reinforce what you get out of the previous year's recordings that you get instant access to.
We will also provide at least 2-years access to these recordings. (Our intention is to give you unlimited access to the recordings so long as we're in the business of teaching - which we intend to for many years to come!)
How long is the training each day?
To better cater for students in the US and different time zones around the world, we're starting at 7am (Melbourne, Australia time) on Saturday, 16th July. We'll dedicate the first 30 minutes for registrations & 'welcome'. At 7:30am (Melbourne time), Dr Wong will start delivering the content, until the lunch break and finish approximately at 4:00pm Melbourne time. The next day's schedule on Sunday is similar...though the registration period will only be around 10 minutes and we'll start roughly around 7:10 to 7:15am Melbourne, Australia time. Please note: we'll be taking short breaks during the morning & afternoon sessions in addition to a lunch break. We'll have a more detailed schedule closer to the event.
So a 7am Melbourne , Australia start time on Saturday 16th July will be:
1) 5am KL/Singapore/HK time on Saturday 16th July
2) 6am Seoul time on Saturday 16th July
3) 5pm New York/Toronto time on Friday 15th July
4) 2pm Los Angeles time on Friday 15th July
5) 10pm London time on Friday 15th July
For other time zones please check on www.TimeBuddy.com etc
What happens if I miss one of the sessions - will I still get CPD credits?
You have to attend live for the full duration of the seminar, on both days (each day we will do a 'roll call' and make note of who is in attendance. (You could theoretically turn up at the start and miss most of the event and we wouldn't know but ultimately it's an honor system and you can make up for it by watching the recordings etc.)
Otherwise, we won't be able to issue you your certificate of completion that shows ~17 hours of scientific CPD credits. If you complete the online recordings from last year's event...which total around 29 hours, then we'll issue 29 hours of CPD credits etc.
You just have to email us at info@StraightTeethNaturally.com to let us know you completed the 2021 training which includes some bonus Q&A sessions we recorded from past events.

My Story & Journey from Orthotropics to Early Intervention Postural Orthodontics
Nature vs Nurture? "A Hidden Epidemic Of Shrinking Jaws..." Stanford Article
The age old question of 'Nature' vs 'Nurture' comes up again and is addressed in this recent article published at Stanford university in July 2020 featuring Dr. Wong's work titled:
"A hidden epidemic of shrinking jaws is behind many orthodontic and health issues, Stanford researchers say. The shrinking of the human jaw in modern humans is not due to genetics but is a lifestyle disease that can be proactively addressed, according to Stanford researchers."

Why Postural Orthodontics & The GOPEX Method?
How Is Postural Orthodontics Different From Other Early Intervention Techniques?
How is Postural Orthodontics different from Orthotropics?
Many of you are here because you are familiar with Facial Growth Guidance or Orthotropics as pioneered by Professor John Mew and his son Dr. Mike Mew. Prof. Mew is in fact one of Dr. Wong's biggest influences professionally and a great mentor of his.
We are also truly honored to have Dr. Mew and Prof. Mew refer all inquiries related to Orthotropic courses to us, both of whom recognize Simon as one of the top Orthotropic practitioners in the world today.
"If there's any questions about me not getting the best [orthotropic] results in the world, then it's Simon Wong who is...." Dr. Mike Mew.
"If there's any questions about me not getting the best [orthotropic] results in the world, then it's Simon Wong who is...." Dr. Mike Mew.
So how is Postural Orthodontics different from Orthotropics.
Dr. Wong's method is a unique approach to early intervention utilizing existing Orthotropic principles and techniques as well as new appliances and protocols that are evidence-based (backed by peer reviewed literature) and results oriented.
In addition, 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. So Postural Orthodontics is about learning how to 'walk' before one 'runs'. It's about first learning how to treat simple 'expansion only cases' (mild skeletal malocclusions) in younger patients aged 3-11. During these earlier years growth guidance is a whole lot easier both in terms of compliance and when the child's bones are still more malleable versus when they hit puberty.
While Dr. Wong has developed a full time practice based on treating more severe malocclusions as well as milder cases, Postural Orthodontics is designed to provide the foundation that he believes is necessary before one should embark on Orthotropics, which Dr. Wong does teach but in later more advanced training and mentoring programs.
Please also note that Dr. Wong's methods are not for adults and are only designed for young children aged 3-11 (ideally before the age of 7).

How is Postural Orthodontics 'Evidence-Based'
Dr. Wong's method is a unique approach to early intervention utilizing existing Orthotropic principles and techniques as well as new appliances and protocols that are evidence-based (backed by peer reviewed literature) and results oriented.
Over the course of the programme, Dr. Wong will go through specific published, peer-reviewed articles that provide the foundation to his methods.
In addition, Dr. Wong's first 145+ cases have been accepted for research evaluation at the University of Alberta, University of Valencia and Autonomous National University of Mexico.
Preliminary findings presented at the Summer meeting of Spanish orthodontics society 2019 by Prof José Luis Gandía - Franco from the University of Valencia in Spain, showed more than promising results. We compared our Postural Orthodontics method with the standard twin-bloc approach (the most popular functional appliance) in a class-2, division-1 malocclusion case.
We had 3 to 7-fold improvements over what twin-bloc could provide.
As expected, the functional appliances only affected the dental alveolar bone, with no skeletal change. Whereas our method resulted in improvements of 3.46 degrees in ANB (vs 1.37) and 1.92 degrees of reduction in Y-axis (vs .26).
Finally, as of July 2021, the highly renowned Orthodontic Researcher - Prof. Peter Buschang of Texas A&M began research on his clinical cases specifically related to hyper-divergence.
In October, 2022 we received promising feedback from Prof. Buschang via email that "early next year, after which a manuscript will be prepared and submitted for publication...I believe that this work will be a positive contribution to the literature."
During the upcoming seminar, Dr. Wong will go over for the completed Master Thesis from Texas A&M supervised by Prof. Buschang...showing the results of the research.

How Does GOPex Integrate with Postural Orthodontics?
Who Is Postural Orthodontics For?
Why Attend The 2-Day Intro To Postural Orthodontics?
What Makes This 2-Day Seminar Different?
Most 2-day introduction courses give you just a glimpse into the lecturer’s clinical process. You get a taste but not much more. However, with our program (for Premium Ticket or Livestream ticket holders) we give you instant access to the recordings from last year's 2-day intro. event which was held in Sydney, so you can review the material before the event itself, plus you get...
...PRESENTATION SLIDES/PRACTICE TEMPLATES, RECORDINGS AND Q&A Support from Dr. Wong inside a PRIVATE Facebook Group.
We take a different approach. Our goal is to make this program as practical as possible. If you purchase either an in-person ticket (Standard or Premium category) or just a Livestream ticket (if you aren't able to the in-person event) we make available the practice templates and presentation slides of the event.
With a Premium or Livestream Ticket you also get the recordings of the event and instant access to last year's 2-day intro. recordings so you can review the material in-depth even before the live event.
Additionally, with a Premium or Livestream ticket you also get direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong until 3-months after the live event in a private Facebook group for paid members only. With a Standard ticket, you get Q&A support until just 1-month after the event. After this direct Q&A support from Dr. Wong, you can still remain inside the closed Facebook group and get the support of over 300 like-minded airway-centric practitioners.
(Please note, you can only submit general questions related to the course material inside this closed Facebook group. Private patient info/photos/x-rays should not be shared etc).

Group buys are great as you can also hold each other accountable and create 'study groups'.
Can I Submit Questions Directly to Dr. Wong?
The only way to submit questions to Dr. Wong is through posting them inside our Closed Facebook Group for Postural Orthodontics students here:
Plus the questions you submit need to be related to the course material you are undertaking.
Please do not email support with medical questions to pass on to Dr. Wong. (Emails to support/admin should be addressed to info@StraightTeethNaturally.com and should only be questions related to billing and admin). You can also post inside the closed Facebook Group questions related to logistics etc as addressing your questions there will also benefit the private Facebook community.
Dr. Wong and our support team are monitoring the private Facebook group and Simon will answer your medical questions there. This is the only way we can handle questions efficiently. Answering your question in the group setting will benefit other doctors since they might have the same question. Plus, there are many experienced folks inside our group who might offer you their perspectives. There are in fact more than 300+ dentists who have enrolled in either the 2-Day Intro course or the Advanced Phase 1-3 program. So it's also a great place to connect and share your journey with others.
Now, one of our key policies for this Closed Facebook Group is that you CANNOT share any of your private patient cases (especially photos of your patient's faces etc). Part of the reason why we don't allow this is because Facebook Groups are not HIPAA compliant (for patient privacy protection). So Dr. Wong can only answer general questions about the '2-Day Intro to Postural Orthodontics'.
Can I claim CE credits after I complete your program?
Please note: we will provide CE Verification through the PACE program with the AGD. This should be recognized in the US. More details to come. We can also issue a digital certificate of completion with the number of hours completed (once you actually complete the hours which our system tracks) which you can use to claim CPD credits in your country.
As such, there is no guarantee that our digital certification or the CE Verification via the PACE program with the AGD will be accepted in your country.

You can post pictures of just the teeth and ask general questions (so long as they're related to the course material you are enrolled in) but Dr. Wong can only give general answers for educational purposes only as he won't have enough information to provide proper advice.
After you graduate from Phase 3, you can consider enrolling into the "Advanced Phase 4 1-Year Mentoring Program" which includes a HIPAA Compliant platform where you can submit patient cases (following our particular protocol which needs to include xrays, photos, ceph analysis and notes etc) for Dr. Wong's review. This 1-year mentoring program allows for proper supervision over an extended time frame.
How Long Do I Get Q&A Support For Inside the Closed Facebook Group?
For those who buy the 2-day intro to Postural Orthodontics recordings it comes with 2 months of Q&A support from Dr. Wong. You can submit general questions related to the course material and Dr. Wong and his support team will answer your questions inside the closed Facebook Group. After this period, you won't be asked to leave the Facebook Group and will get support from the community members. But if you want further Q&A support from Dr. Wong, you'll need to enroll in the next level of training (either the Advanced Phase 1-3 training which comes with 6 months of additional Q&A support from Dr. Wong or the Advanced Phase 4 one-year mentoring program which comes with 12 months of additional Q&A support from Dr. Wong in addition to the fortnightly 3-hour+ live Q&A calls with Simon and other Phase 4 members).
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 trialed & 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?
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.
Functional Orthopedics has been practised for almost 100 years. Most orthodontic systems use some form of functional expansion appliance, incorporating orofacial myology.
Our orthodontic profession theorizes that bone growth can be stimulated by functional activity. Accordingly, conventional phase 1 appliances & exercises leverage functional movement, hoping to stimulate jaw growth.
But these treatments haven’t been proven effective in creating substantial, lasting changes.
In fact, over the last 40 years of clinical trials, we have never been able to show significant clinical changes through any of the traditional phase 1 treatment systems.
They move teeth around a bit better but don’t help the jaw to grow better.
The GOPex method primarily assists in improving the rest positions of the jaws & muscles. It’s considered posturally-focused, rather than functionally focused. This is a critical distinction because body growth happens only at postural rest, not in functional motion.
Over the past 12 years of research in clinical practice, we have generated hundreds of case studies showing significant results.
The first 145 cases have been accepted for research evaluation at the University of Alberta, University of Valencia and Autonomous National University of Mexico. In addition, as of July 2021, we are now excited to announce that highly renowned Orthodontic Researcher - Dr. Peter Buschang of Texas A&M will be starting research on my clinical cases specifically related to hyper-divergence.
Preliminary findings presented at the Summer meeting of Spanish orthodontics society 2019 by Prof José Luis Gandía - Franco from the University of Valencia in Spain, showed more than promising results.
We compared our Postural Orthodontics method with the standard twin-bloc approach (the most popular functional appliance) in a class-2, division-1 malocclusion case.
We had 3 to 7-fold improvements over what twin-bloc could provide.
As expected, the functional appliances only affected the dental alveolar bone, with no skeletal change. Whereas our method resulted in improvements of 3.46 degrees in ANB (vs 1.37) and 1.92 degrees of reduction in Y-axis (vs .26).

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
"I was first introduced to early intervention orthodontics through the Myobrace organisation, training with John Flutter and Chris Farrell in the early 2000s. My studies then led me to Steve Olmos on TMD/Sleep and then sidetracked onto ALF and Cranial osteopathy in Canada and the US. Next up was a very comprehensive traditional orthodontic continuing education programme in conjunction with John Mew’s Orthotropic work. I subsequently brought Prof. Mew over to Australia to teach.
I then began to travel on the CE train throughout the world, on a tight shoe string budget living in one of the furthest points on Earth (Australia) from the North American and European learning centres.
Excited as I was, it quickly became apparent my time with John, Mike and Bill Hang in California allowed me entry into Orthotropics but with a challenging map to the exit finish. John was always encouraging but insisted we put in the effort to discover for ourselves how these programmes develop and finish differently with each family.
Eventually through many years of trial and error I did work it out but I saw how everyone else who attempted this fell into the journey of potholes and to the very last count, to this day after 5 decades of John teaching, there are few who run full time Orthotropic practices. Whether it be the pressure from the local Orthodontic communities or just an inability to work through the difficulties of the middle point in Orthotropics, few have had the endurance or skill to achieve their goals.
About 7 years ago I realised my system of treating patients was working, consistently, predictably and profitably. I had documented my cases from the very beginning and realised my success rate was high. I developed guidelines for myself and my intake screening process that loaded the chances of achieving control of vertical growth in my favour. I shifted my practice and opened up a full time Orthotropic clinic and began the process of establishing clinical research into Orthotropics.
Soon after, through my collaboration with Dr Sandra Kahn (who co-authored GOPex with me) I started teaching, initially restricting my student intake to experienced Orthodontists and Pediatric Dentists in Europe and was allowed to create a module in the Orthodontic postgraduate programme at Uni Valencia. This paved the way for formal research in Spain and now Mexico and Canada (University of Alberta) where I have residents doing their thesis on my Biobloc Orthotropic (140+ consecutive) case series. The editors of Angle Orthodontics and American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics have shown interest and hopefully there will be publications in the near future, to validate John's work. In addition, as of July 2021, we are now excited to announce that highly renowned Orthodontic Researcher - Dr. Peter Buschang of Texas A&M will be starting research on my clinical cases specifically related to hyper-divergence.

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 mentoring sessions for Phase 4 and beyond.
In order to provide the protection we all need now with the world pandemic, this training is now also available livestream and recording. I think it may be helpful to you to support you in your journey and I hope you will consider allowing me to share what I have learnt."
Dr Simon Wong
Founder of Postural Orthodontics
How I Got into Teaching and the Forwardontics Connection...
The path I took on my journey as a student of Orthotropics is well-trodden with my teachers the Mews and Bill Hang lighting and guiding the way forward. However, as dentists who venture into the land of early intervention orthodontics, we all seem to travel the same stretch of road. I suspect our experiences and lives play out with many similarities.
We walk along winding path, seemingly on our own, in isolated loneliness.
Many of us begin because we aren’t happy with how our children finish their treatments. We are unhappy as we have the underlying feeling, there should be "more". We are told though by those in the know; "That’s all there is folks. The hand you are dealt with is what you have to play with."
Hence we live in despondence.
So when an outlier claims, they have "more", our interests perk. We stop, we listen, we watch and we are intrigued. We think; "Well it certainly looks like they are doing "more"! What if there is more?"
We look around and see the gathering of some of our peers. Like-minded, kindred spirits. Other dentists unfulfilled and looking for more. And we join these groups and immerse in the wonder of another way.
These teachers orate. They reveal the secrets of their discoveries. They fascinate. They show success.
They encourage participation.
And thus drawn are we. And in we follow. And we find purpose.
Enthusiasms that we did not even know was within us and passions that ignite a new beginning.
Yet each and every one of us, within a blink of time, looks around and realise we are again alone.
We start many cases but finish so few the ways we envisaged we would. The children whose faces continue to fall and fade from the ideal we promised haunts us. Questions arise and are sort from and by us but the answers remain elusive.
We have all lived this. Yet I found fortune as on my way, I encountered another journeyman.
Dr Sandra Kahn was like no one who was part of my normal sphere of life. A seasoned and accomplished Orthodontist based in a different country, living a different life, yet a traveller on the very same road, tracking on exactly the same path.
At the point, I met Sandra I had already begun to develop my own methodology of care. It seemed I was already achieving a level of consistency in my treatment outcomes that should have created confidence but by nature, I am one always plagued by doubt. Immobilized by indecision and so locked in self-isolation.

Sandra is my counterpart in character and personality. My two talents are the ability to recognise what is important and the capability of taking the complex and explaining it simply. Hers is the gift of drawing together the talented with the influential.
Together we formed an unlikely partnership and co-authored the book GOPex (Good Oral Posture Exercises: a set of exercises based on my grandmother’s culture of manners and presentation). Sandra then formalized GOPex into a technology App that has the potential to remind all generations to come of what is possible…
…of how we are meant to behave and who we are meant to be.
Sandra took what was just a backwater experiment in my tiny clinic Down Under and launched it into the heart of the community of Europe’s oldest Orthodontic University and then onwards to those institutions of influence around the world.
From my unwavering belief in John’s Tropic Premise and her decisive support of my contribution to our profession via her company, Forwardontics, she gave me an initial platform to share what I had learnt with the world.
From a clinical perspective, what I do, is take 7 and 8-year-olds who have grown in malformation and laboriously, painstakingly and unrelentingly, create a semblance of harmony.
Documenting the process in detail so that I can share my work with other colleagues hasn't been easy...but this is what I have set out to do with Postural Orthodontics.
My method takes the egocentric doctor out of the equation of a child’s life and returns the responsibility of a child’s upbringing into the hands of those who truly care for their well-being, their parents.
Postural Orthodontics is in some sense a stepping stone to more complicated Orthotropic cases, introducing dentists to a safe and structured approach to treating milder malocclusions "expansion only cases".
At 52, I am who I am. No time soon will I be giving up my "carrot and stick" but for those who look to me for guidance, be glad the Forwardontics connection paved the path that encourages all of us to find our way home...and for this, I am truly grateful to Sandra and others who are on the same holistic mission to revolutionize the lives of our children.
