Biomechanical Institute for Orthodontics
The course aims to equip general dentists with the knowledge to independently decide on treating adult patients who need orthodontic intervention through theoretical foundations, clinical simulations, and patient management.
Biomechanics Institute for Orthodontics intends to equip and empower dentists to make sound and objective decisions in treating their adult patients with skeleto-dental malocclusions. The program is run continuously over 10 Modules over a period of 1 1/ 2 years of training and workshops covering the topics from the basics to the current trends.
Biomechanics is based on the two main paradigms: Hard tissue Paradigm (Conventional Brackets & Growth Modifying Appliances) and Soft tissue Paradigm (Self Ligating & Myotrainers).
The course also incorporates The Dental Academy Malaysia’s philosophy of continuous learning and mentoring.

Course Coordinator
Dr. Paolo Manzano
Dr. Manzano was an Associate Professor at the University of the East for 5 years in the undergraduate and post graduate levels until he focused on pursuing his passion for orthodontics through the Biomechanical Institute of Orthodontics study club. He conducts workshops and lectures specifically on orthodontics and on Temporary Anchorage Devices workshops, the first of its kind. He authored and co-authored in published studies such as Novel Technique for Segmental Distalisation – TAD aided Segmental Mechanics, Comparison of Collision of TADs in Salt Spray Test, & Comparison of two Bracket Recycling Techniques.
