Orthodontics Masterclass

Back to basics

Orthodontics and Biomechanics

Prof. Dr. Giovanni Biondi

7 days | January-February 2025 | Sofia, Bulgaria

Every patient is unique and deserves the best treatment.

Learn how to change the formation in the arch, to finely position each tooth in the desired position, with the required torque, type and occlusal level.

Even today, despite great advances in technology and materials, the primary goal of orthodontists remains the same: strict adherence to orthodontic principles of treatment planning and working within biological constraints.

According to V.G. Kokic,

Certain biological and aesthetic principles exist in orthodontics and dentistry that previous research has shown they are inviolate, no matter what magic device we use

It is undeniable that the control of individual tooth movements in three dimensions by correctly positioning the information on the arches, above and beyond the information inherent in the braces, is crucial for every orthodontist.

The Back to Basics training will help you understand and apply these basic concepts, improving your skills and taking your orthodontic practice to the next level.

Benefit from prof. Biondi's experience to develop your orthodontic skills.

More effective treatment and more aesthetic results.

А seven day masterclass led by Prof. Dr. Giovanni Biondi, instructor from the Tweed Foundation (Tucson, USA).
