👋 Introduction
The Ultimate Orthodontic Solutions Course is an intensive 6-day Mini Residency Program in Orthodontics designed for orthodontists seeking a deeper, more structured understanding of diagnosis-driven biomechanics and modern clinical solutions.Taking place from June 7th to 12th, 2027, in the unique setting of Cantine Surrau, Sardinia, Italy, this international program offers a comprehensive and immersive educational experience that bridges diagnosis, biomechanics, fixed appliances, hybrid strategies, clear aligners, and advanced finishing protocols.Led by Professor Kleber Meireles, the course is built on a clear clinical philosophy: orthodontic excellence is achieved through precise diagnosis, sound biomechanical reasoning, and the intelligent integration of different treatment modalities. Throughout six consecutive days, participants will progress from foundational diagnostic principles to advanced biomechanical execution, combining theory with extensive hands-on practice using wax typodonts.This Mini Residency is limited to 35 participants, ensuring close interaction, in-depth discussion, and a highly practical learning environment. The program is conducted entirely in English and is tailored for orthodontists and advanced residents who want to refine their clinical decision-making, increase treatment efficiency, and achieve predictable, high-quality results in daily practice. Prof. Meireles will be supported by three orthodontic tutors: Dr. Alessandro Bruni, Dr. Davide Elsido and Dr. Daniel Olteanu.In the Friday morning session on clear aligners, there will be a special lecture by Dr. Luis Huanca, followed by a discussion comparing best-practice protocols between fixed orthodontics and aligner therapy, aimed at understanding the capabilities, advantages, and limitations of each technique.

Course Director and Lead Instructor
Dr. Kleber Meireles
Specialist in Orthodontics – University of São Paulo
Postgraduate in TMJ
Professor and Coordinator of Orthodontics Specialization – Instituto Prime (Bahia) International speaker
Columnist for the Dental Press Clinical Orthodontics, the most prestigious orthodontic journal in Brazil and one of the Top 10 in the world.After over 28 years deeply studying Biomechanics, I have developed my own methodology to easily solve cases of any complexity. Treatments that could last 4, 5 or even more years can be finished in a maximum of 2 years, thanks to the application of my protocols. Because my treatments are fast and extremely efficient, I have been recognized worldwide as a world class speaker.Now I travel the world giving lectures in which I share my knowledge in a practical way, therefore showing that mastering Biomechanics is the best way to quickly and efficiently solve any case.
