Experts align for world class congress

Delegates to the two day event in Vienna, taking place over Valentine’s weekend (February 13-14, 2016), will have an unrivalled opportunity to hear about the latest clinical advances, product developments and practical advice from experts in the field which they can apply in practice. There is also a hands-on element with a series of workshops on the second day. By the end of the congress clinicians should be in a better position to compare the technical and clinical advantages of each aligner system and select the ideal treatments for their patients.

Accelerating tooth movement

Marco Tribo will discuss acceleration of tooth movement in adults using photo-biomodulation and share a number of case reports of patients treated with the Orthopulse device, whilst Kenji Ojima willreviews the extended scope of Invisalign and reports on ways to shorten the treatment period, by use a combination of a non-invasive Accelerate device and the Invisalign system. Alberto Diaspro willlook at acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement to meet aesthetic aspirations faster and reduce the risk of gingival inflammation, decalcification, dental caries, and, especially, root resorption.  He will present cases showing a novel outpatient technique combining corticotomy and clear orthodontic aligners (corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment) allowing the orthodontist to treat extended arches in a way that removes the need for extensive flap elevation and minimises bone surgery.
