Winds of Change

2026

Redefining Collaboration, Transforming Lives

Live cadaver procedures. Clinically connected lectures. Limited seats. 

A Front-Row Seat

to the Future of

Interdisciplinary, Collaborative Care

Winds of Change returns for its third year with a unique blend of clinically relevant lectures and live surgical demonstrations.

It delivers a one-of-a-kind learning experience for providers focused on maxillary and mandibular expansion, airway, TMD, OSA, MMA, and dentofacial deformity correction.

This isn’t another theory-heavy CE weekend.
It’s a fully immersive, high-caliber experience—where everything you see and hear is designed to elevate how you practice.

What You’ll See ( And Learn )

Live Cadaver Lab Surgical Demonstrations

From MARPE and MSDO to MMA, LeFort and TJR and SFOT/corticotomy surgery, you’ll observe advanced procedures performed on cadavers—projected in HD, captured from multiple angles, and narrated live by the surgeons performing them.

This is real surgical work, happening in real time—explained with clarity, precision, and clinical insight.

Clinically Connected Lectures

Every lecture is chosen to support what you’re seeing in the lab.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the diagnostic process, treatment planning, anatomical nuance, and execution—so the learning sticks from every angle.
