Mini Implant (TADs) Advanced Course - December 4, 2026 - London
- Specialist Orthodontists who regularly use Mini Implants in their current treatment plans and are looking to advance their knowledge
- Clinicians who regularly use Mini Implants in their current treatment plans and are looking to advance their knowledge
- Not suitable for beginners
Over the years, the Infinitas course has helped many orthodontists to successfully integrate skeletal anchorage into their clinical practice; and received consistently excellent feedback. This new āAdvancedā course will take your knowledge and aspirations onto the next level, with a focus on 3D planning, complex biomechanics and palatal appliances including 3D printed metal expanders.
Ā
Commencing in 2024, this brand new one-day course includes lectures and supporting practicals on:
- CAD-CAM planning for mini-implant insertion, including the one-visit protocol (how to go from a digital model to both appliance fitting and mini-implant insertion in a single appointment)
- An update on advanced buccal biomechanics
- Molar intrusion treatment for anterior openbite cases
- Mid-palate mechanics for molar distalisation & mesialisation (protraction)
- Maxillary skeletal expansion
- Orthognathic applications

About the Course Lecturer
Dr Richard Cousley Ā BSc, BDS, MSc, FDS RCS (Eng), FDS(Orth) RCS
Richard is widely regarded as an expert in orthodontic skeletal anchorage, with over 25 years' experience and a track record of clinical innovations. He developed the Infinitas mini-implant system in 2007. This is the most widely used bone anchor in the UK and is currently sold in over 50 countries. He has authored over 45 peer-reviewed clinical and research papers, plus two editions of his textbook: āThe Orthodontic Mini-implant Clinical Handbookā. Ā Richard also created a clinical protocol for mini-implant assisted molar intrusion (to correct anterior openbites), established the UKās leading mini-implant teaching courses (for both introductory and advanced mini-implant usage) and has lectured across the world on mini-implants.Ā
As an early adopter of 3D imaging, model technology and in-house aligners, Richard has been keen to realise all of the opportunities offered by digital design and 3D printing workflows. This led him to develop innovations such as CAD-CAM orthognathic wafers, mini-implant guidance stents, plus the digital Twin Block appliance - all designed using orthodontic software. Richard was also instrumental in introducing 3D printed metal appliances to UK orthodontics and co-founded the UKās first training course in digital orthodontics, both in 2023. He has since become a sought-after authority on orthodontic software and 3D printing applications, and co-created the UK's first 3D Orthodontics training course (for orthodontists and technicians).
Richard created the Priestgate Clinic, a bespoke multi-disciplinary practice, in 2018, after a career as a NHS hospital-based consultant orthodontist (managing a large orthognathic and complex caseload for 16 years). He's also been an associate editor for the Journal of Orthodontics, a referee for eight orthodontic journals, and a Royal College of Surgeons (England) examiner for the Membership in Orthodontics (Morth) specialist examination. Heās currently a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the British Orthodontic Society, the Royal College of Surgeons of England (Faculty of Dental Surgery) and the World Federation of Orthodontists.
