Gain Practical Skills. Deliver Better Outcomes. Build a Future-Proof Practice.

Hands-on training in early airway intervention, functional

orthodontics, and orofacial myology.

Prevention and interception during critical growth periods

Planas’ Direct Tracks, ALF Appliance, Myobrace, and Munchee Systems

Improve airway function, craniofacial development, and breathing.

Gain clinical insights, hands-on techniques, and proven strategies

Pediatric Airway Problems Are Increasing.

Be the Solution.

Without early intervention, many children develop lifelong health issues:

Sleep apnea, facial growth disorders, compromised breathing.

This course gives you the tools to diagnose early, intervene properly, and achieve measurable clinical results.

ABOUT YOUR TRAINER

Dr. Ramirez graduated in 1983, obtaining his DDS degree from the Javeriana University in Colombia. Afterwards, he completed a Pediatric Dentistry Diploma in Mexico. Dr. Ramirez interest includes guiding craniofacial growth and development in children. Thus, he trained in Orthodontics in Brazil, as well as completed a Master of Dental Sciences and Doctoral degree (PhD) in Oral Biology in Australia. He also holds a Mater degree focusing in Craniofacial Pain and Sleep Apnea from Tufts University in Boston, USA. Planas’ direct tracks.

Beside his extensive experience treating children, Dr. Ramirez has been an academic in USA and Canada. He became a fellow of the Royal College of Dentist of Canada in 2012 and recently moved to Ontario, where he practices, while continue associated with the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada.

What You'll Learn and Practice

Understand craniofacial and airway development stages

Build and apply Planas’ Direct Tracks, ALF appliance systems, and Orofacial Myology techniques.

Achieve better outcomes through combined functional and structural therapies.

Recognize the early signs of Obstructive Sleep Disordered Breathing (OSDB) and differentiate it from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) using clinical and radiographic tools.

Learn how to use minimally invasive selective grinding combined with Planas’ Direct Tracks to manage posterior and anterior crossbites early in development.

Master the interpretation of lateral cephalograms to diagnose skeletal patterns related to airway compromise, including recognizing bimaxillary retrusion and vertical growth patterns.
