Workshop The Moon Principles by Won: Midfacial Skeletal Expander (MSE) Hands-on Workshop
Presented by: Won Moon, DMD, MS
Dr. Tae-Woo Kim

Join Tae-Woo Kim, DDS, MSD, PhD, Professor, Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Seoul National University and Visiting Professor at the University of Washington and UCLA, for a comprehensive lecture focusing on advanced utilization of MI for correcting open bite problems and producing corrections of Class II and Class III cases.
Dr. Won Moon

Join Won Moon, DMD, MS, Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Ajou University School of Medicine and Founder of the Moon Principles International Research Institute, for a combination lecture and workshop on the current usage of MSE, advanced applications, as well as an overview of the impact of MSE. The workshop is for those who took the basic MSE course and want hands-on experience.

The MSE is a version of the Micro-implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander (MARPE) and was introduced to the market in 2010. 

The MSE is capable of producing dramatic (non-surgical) maxillary skeletal expansion. 

The expansion screws are available in 8mm, 10mm and 12mm stainless steel. The MSE uses four titanium alloy TADs for fixation to the palate and a wrench for activation. It attaches to two molar bands via four legs for stabilization. 

Great Lakes is pleased to present this seminar in partnership with The Forsyth Institute, a world leader in oral health research and education and the only independent research institute in the United States focusing on the connections between oral health and overall wellness.

The Forsyth Institute is an ADA CERP recognized provider.
