yTWO Online 2027- postgraduate

One year of clinical learning, scientific discussion and digital practice with Dr. Björn Ludwig.

Following strong demand and a fully booked yTWO Masterclass, registration is now opening for yTWO Online — first, exclusively for current yONE members.

Programme period: 1 February 2027–31 December 2027.

yTWO builds on yONE, combining regular teaching and community exchange with an integrated platform, an organised 3D library and an optional shared research project.

Registration and prices

Public registration opens on 1 November 2026, subject to availability.

Places are limited to maintain manageable case discussions and feedback. The fee covers the full programme year. Payment is made in full at registration; no deposit is required.

The online programme

• Four topic days per week: guided literature discussions, clinical cases and digital workflows.

• Two live online sessions per month, 60 minutes each: teaching, discussion and questions.

• Community case mentoring and troubleshooting: structured cases submitted in the dedicated space receive feedback in writing or during a live discussion.

• The yTWO podcast: conversations about orthodontics and the people behind the profession.

Clinical themes include diagnostics and treatment planning, early treatment, aligner biomechanics and finishing, skeletal anchorage, digital appliances, retention and long-term stability.

New resources

Integrated platform

Our apps, digital tools and literature resources come together in one platform. The core will be available from 1 February 2027. Further modules, including practice management tools, will be introduced during 2027 and included in membership.

The software will be available in English and German.

3D library

An organised catalogue of existing and new 3D files, with descriptions, practical workflow instructions and downloads for professional use.

Literature resources

Literature resources integrated into the platform, alongside guided discussions connecting published findings with clinical decisions.

Optional Science Track

Included at no additional charge, the Science Track follows one shared research project from the research question towards a manuscript. Active contributors take on defined roles.

The goal is a publication-ready manuscript by the end of 2027. Authorship follows contribution and ICMJE criteria. Participation does not guarantee authorship or journal acceptance.
