    * Please note, the 1-day Clinical recordings with Dr. Wong are now available upon enrollment of the Advanced Phase 1-3 program.
    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 8 Q&A Zoom calls 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
    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 a 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.

    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.)

    As part of the 2-Day Introduction To Postural Orthodontics Program you received 3-months Q&A support inside our close Facebook group for paid Premium Ticket members only. However, once you enroll in this Advanced Phase 1 program, you receive an additional 2-months of Q&A support. In here, you can ask general questions that are related to the course material to Dr Wong and can also share thoughts & insights with other clinicians who are on the same journey to mastering Postural Orthodontics. 
    HIPAA COMPLIANT PLATFORM FOR PATIENT CASE STUDY REVIEW BY DR WONG

     Advanced issue found
    ▲
     
    In Phase 3, you can submit up to 2 patient case studies, for Dr Wong's review during the live 2-hour Q&A sessions, in our HIPAA compliant online platform—we use a platform called 'Healthie'. The cases need to be relatively simple, expansion only cases. Submissions need to be made no later than 10-days prior to the scheduled live Q&A calls - see below for details. 

    Please note, whenever you join, you will get access to the next 6 scheduled live Q&A Zoom calls.

    Complex orthotropic cases: review of such cases are only available for students in later phases (phase 5 and beyond.) Once again, we have created a structured and systematic learning & mentoring process so as to not get into complex cases too quickly.
    DOCUSIGN AGREEMENT: FOR HIPAA COMPLIANT PRIVACY PLATFORM

     Advanced issue found
    ▲
     
    After registering for this package (Advanced Course Phase 1, 2, and 3), you'll get immediate access to the Phase 1 recordings. You will also need to sign an electronic agreement to get access to our HIPAA compliant platform (which is very secure) where the live Q&A sessions are housed. You will be sent an electronic document (via DocuSign) to sign online: "Agreement to Participate in the Postural Orthodontics Advanced Course & Mentorship Programme". 

    This online agreement essentially acknowledges that your submitted patient case studies for Dr Wong's review have received consent from the patient's family that you can use their records for educational purposes. We will also have specific guidelines regarding how to submit these cases (so to keep private your patient details and keep his/her identity anonymous etc.)  

    Inside this platform, Phase 3 students will be submitting patient case studies for Simon to review. When you first join and if you're only up to Phase 1 or Phase 2, you will still be able to listen in on these live critiques of these cases being submitted by Phase 3 students. During these live Q&A calls, even if you're only at Phase 1 or 2, you can of course still ask general questions related to the course material.

    🌞 What's The Weather Like in Sydney in March?

    March is the beginning of autumn (March - May) in Sydney and the lovely weather means it is one of the best times of year to visit the city. Many tourists find the weather in autumn is the most pleasant of all the year.  

    Throughout the month of March, the average daytime temperatures are around 22°C (72°F) in Sydney. Temperatures do vary but not greatly; high temperatures can reach up to 25°C (77°F) whereas the average minimum temperatures only drops to around 18°C (64°F).

    What happens after I enrol in this Advanced Phase 1 program?

    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 various bonuses. All these videos and download materials are inside a 3rd party digital course platform, called "Teachable", where we house all the training.

    What if i find that the Advanced program isn't for me - can I get a refund?

    We have a 30-day money back guarantee from the date of purchase.

    Can we 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 around 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' & Phase 1 related material. 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.

    How Long Do I Get Q&A Support For Inside the Closed Facebook Group?

    For those who buy the Advanced Phase 1 Postural Orthodontics program it comes with 1 month 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 (Phase 2 etc).

    What's Next After Phase-1 of the Advanced Program?

    After this Advanced Phase-1 training (so long as you've finished LAB Day recordings also)...is simply what we call Advanced Phase-2 training + Clinical Day recordings. We've simply broken up our Advanced training into what we're calling (Advanced Phase-1 + Lab Day), (Advanced Phase-2, + Clinical Day recordings), and finally Phase-3 recordings. Details about Phase-2 and Clinical Day recordings please click HERE.  

    p.s. (Phase-4 is what we're calling our mentoring program where you have direct 1:1 and small group access to Dr. Wong).

    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?
    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 10 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."

    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.
    ---> CONTINUE READING NEXT COLUMN --->
    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 55, 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.
