Stop getting stuck in mechanics. Flatten Spee, control torque, close spaces on plan.
Eight hours of applied biomechanics for the cases you face every week — chosen face-first, so the mechanics protect the profile and the smile, not only the occlusion.
If any of this sounds familiar, this is the gap.
"My treatments take too long and I can’t figure out why" — space closure problems, anchorage issues, getting stuck in mechanics.
A deep curve of Spee that will not flatten, blocking overjet correction in your Class II cases.
Retraction that stalls — or finishes with negative torque and a worse profile than you started with.
Spaces that close at the wrong end of the arch because anchorage was never planned.
Reacting to problems after they appear, instead of sequencing transverse, vertical and sagittal correction from the start.
Mechanics chosen from the diagnosis — not improvised at the chair.
Straight to the Point connects comprehensive diagnosis, strategic planning and precise biomechanics for everyday fixed-appliance treatment. Prof. Kleber works through the situations that consume the most chair time — Spee, retraction, torque, impacted canines, space management — with case examples and protocols you can apply on your next patient.
- +Flatten the curve of Spee with deliberate intrusion and extrusion mechanics — and unlock overjet correction in Class II
- +Retract anterior teeth with sliding mechanics or loops while preserving torque and protecting the profile
- +Sequence correction in the right order — transverse, then vertical, then sagittal — so problems stop compounding
- +Create space for impacted canines with wire elasticity and plan closed traction with CBCT guidance
- +Open and close spaces with differential forces, V-shape activation and loop designs such as the Boot loop
What is inside, module by module.
01Flattening the Curve of Spee
+
Flattening the Curve of Spee
The intrusion and extrusion mechanics behind rapid correction, and Spee’s direct relationship to overjet correction in Class II cases.
02Retraction of Anterior Teeth
+
Retraction of Anterior Teeth
Sliding mechanics and loops, extraction timing for clearance, and preventing profile worsening and root resorption through torque control.
03Torque Control Techniques
+
Torque Control Techniques
Measuring, applying and preserving torque throughout treatment.
- Why negative torque during retraction is a mistake
- Managing the Robot Effect and anchorage
- Why torque expression takes time — and how to plan for it
04Impacted and Displaced Canines
+
Impacted and Displaced Canines
From space creation to traction mechanics, including the surgical interface.
- Creating space with wire elasticity and active space maintainers
- Closed traction mechanics
- Surgical collaboration and CBCT-guided traction planning
05Opening and Closing Spaces
+
Opening and Closing Spaces
Space management decisions across the arch, including prosthetic site preparation.
- Uprighting molars and closing spaces in narrow ridges
- Creating implant sites
- V-shape activation, differential forces and loop designs such as the Boot loop
06Vertical and Transverse Control
+
Vertical and Transverse Control
Keeping the vertical dimension under control while correcting the sagittal problem.
- Avoiding unwanted extrusion from Class II elastics
- Deep bite and open bite strategies
- Why transverse correction comes before vertical and sagittal
Prof. Dr. Kleber Meireles.
Orthodontist, international speaker and creator of the KM Orthodontic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning System. Specialist in Orthodontics at USP Bauru, professor and coordinator of postgraduate orthodontics programs, co-creator of the Centrex System published in the Dental Press Journal.
His teaching is built on one premise: cases that used to take four to five years can be resolved in under two — not through talent, but through diagnosis and biomechanics applied as a method.
Built for a specific clinician.
- +Orthodontists treating everyday fixed-appliance cases who feel stuck in mechanics
- +Clinicians managing Class I and Class II extraction cases who want predictable space closure
- +Practitioners who want a systematic correction sequence instead of reacting to problems
- +Owners of the 8-Hour Clinical Orthodontics Masterclass — the two form a complementary 16-hour intensive
- −Beginners looking for an introduction to fixed appliances
- −Clinicians who want appliance marketing instead of force systems
- −Anyone expecting results without changing how they plan mechanics

Before you ask.
Is the course in English?
+
Yes. The full 8-hour recording and all materials are in English, made for an international audience of orthodontists.
How long do I have access?
+
One year of full access to the complete recording, on any device.
Does it overlap with the 8-Hour Clinical Orthodontics Masterclass?
+
They are complementary. The Masterclass (Live Class 1) covers bonding, alignment, bends, retraction and finishing; Straight to the Point (Live Class 2) goes deeper into the curve of Spee, torque control, impacted canines and space closure. Many students take both as a 16-hour program.
Does it cover impacted canine traction?
+
Yes — space creation with wire elasticity, closed traction mechanics, surgical collaboration and CBCT-guided planning. For the complete 17-module impaction protocol, see the Traction of Impacted Tooth Course.
I work mostly with non-extraction cases. Is it still relevant?
+
Yes. Spee management, torque control, vertical control and space management apply to every fixed-appliance case — extraction mechanics are one section, not the whole program.
What if the protocols do not change how I treat?
+
If the protocols do not change how you plan and execute your cases, request a full refund within 15 days.
