Lingual and Loving It! The Inside Story of Self-Ligation
Ronald Roncone, DDS, MS
2:00-5:00 p.m.
If you have been in practice for 20 plus years chances are you have tried lingual orthodontics. Chances are you also hated it and vowed never to do it again. Let Me Change Your Mind! While full lingual is still very difficult and expensive (laboratory fees, etc.) cosmetic lingual treatment is very simple. The LMTM is meant for relatively simple, cosmetic changes and it certainly offers much more control, no laboratory fees, and much shorter treatment times than clear aligners. You will learn:
• bracket description-what makes LMTM different
• bonding techniques and de-bonding
• about wires
• case selection-do’s and don’ts
• retention and marketing

You will learn:
• profitability and the Invisalign System
• why incorporating Invisalign into a busy practice requires teamwork and good case selection
• which types of treatment make sense to treat with the Invisalign system and which treatment should be avoided
