Presentation                                   

The great demand for Orthodontics in adult patients makes us to search for more and more aesthetic solutions.

Orthodontics with lingual brackets is having a great success in Europe, especially in Italy and France, and now it has it more and more in the United States, too.

The development of materials, laboratory techniques and the casuistry growth have led to the Lingual Technique development which gives excellent results and offers completely systemized protocols, just as in Labial Technique. Predictable results, specific bonding system and standardized biomechanical sequencing allow this technique to enrich our therapeutic armamentarium and to be the preferable technique in cases of patients with a great aesthetic demands, with a deep bite or with dental histogenetic dysplasia, but also to be applicable to almost all the other cases.

Theoretical-practical seminar in Lingual Orthodontics

SEMINAR GOALS

The seminar is developed through five theoretical-practical modules, and it reflects my clinical and teaching experience in Lingual Orthodontics.

Starting from its history and evolution, the lingual technique will be studied "step by step" beginning with the diagnosis and selection of patients until the case finishing, including clinical and laboratory stages.

The participants will be able to carry out the laboratory and practical cases on wax pre-shaped typodonts, that is, with "real movements", so they can develop a complete and deep knowledge of the technique.

Due to the programme planning, it is indispensable that the participants possess training and clinical experience in Orthodontics with fixed appliances.
