COURSE OBJECTIVES: WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
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) and our removable appliances ('Wong Widgets') 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 
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/STEP BY STEP PRACTICE TEMPLATES, RECORDINGS AND 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.
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.
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.

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).

      My Story & Journey from Orthotropics to Early Intervention Postural Orthodontics

      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.

      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 Does GOPex Integrate with Postural Orthodontics?

       Why Is The Orthodontic Community So Skeptical About Early Intervention?

      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.

      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).
