International flavour to learning lingual

The first module of Learning Lingual got the course off to an impressive start with the majority of topics achieving full marks on evaluation sheets. Among the comments received were:

New for 2017 was the water bath, a worktop water heater, which meant that delegates could place wires on typodonts and then witness the impact on tooth movement once the typodont had been in warm water for ten minutes.

The London Lingual Orthodontic Clinic was the first practice in the UK dedicated to lingual orthodontic treatment. Asif’s ability to problem solve across all the different systems enables him to help and support delegates with any cases they want to discuss.

Asif said, “The mechanics of lingual orthodontics are very different to labial so that a whole new approach is required. Knowledge of one system alone won’t necessarily give an orthodontist the confidence they need to manage patients.

“I feel very privileged to be mentoring colleagues who are committed to extending their skills, especially when they have travelled so far. We are all looking forward to the next module in May.”
