Postural Orthodontics: Principle-Based Orthopaedics
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. If you get either a Premium In-Person Attendance or Livestream Ticket, we also give you INSTANT ACCESS to the recordings from our last year's event so you can get started straight away with the training online. We also offer...
...PRESENTATION SLIDES/PRACTICE TEMPLATES, RECORDINGS AND Q&A Support from Dr. Wong & 250+ PAST ATTENDEES inside a PRIVATE Facebook Group
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.
"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
Lecturer and lead clinician 
at the London School of
Facial Orthotropics
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, 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).

The past 13 years, as the principle of the clinic Natural Smiles Centre based in Melbourne, he’s been focused on the correction of early childhood craniofacial development issues; a devoted practitioner for the early correction of malocclusion. His mission is to help children learn correct oral posture, so they can avoid multiple chronic health problems that plague modern societies.

With foundations from Mew growth theories, Dr. Wong developed the Postural Orthodontics method for early intervention. This 7-part system incorporates a unique set of upper and lower arch expansion plates and a surprisingly effective exercise programme called ‘GOPex’ (‘Good Oral Posture exercises’).

      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." 

      For the full article please click here.

      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 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 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, 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."

      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.

      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 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).

      Agenda for the 2-Day Introduction to Postural Orthodontics

      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 CPD credits in my country after I complete your program?

      Please note: regarding CPD (Continuing Professional Development) credits, we are not officially accredited with any institution here in Australia. However, we will 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 will be accepted in your country.

      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' & the 'Advanced Course Phase 1-3'. 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).
