The 3D Orthodontist

After a long Xmas pause, I jump into 2018 full of energy and willing to share a lot of interesting stuff about 3D orthodontics.Today I would like to start a mini-series of post concerning the digital-lab, and specifically my collaboration with Stefano Negrini, one of the very first technician who believed into 3D orthodontics in his field, beginning 10 years ago.

As orthodontist we are sometimes challenged by a quite difficult clinical situation: a mild to severe CLII and no overjet to solve it.A classic, evergreen, old-school approach could be extraction of upper 4s and lower 5s and a careful management of anchorage. If one does not want to consider extraction, then he should find a way to gain overjet before to start CLII correction

I am ready to fly to Venice for the 2nd EAS (European Aligner Society) Congress. This is a very nice meeting to make the point on what's going on in the clear aligners field.

Shakespearian Hamlet’s dilemma may be transliterated into what troubles the modern orthodontist.The shift to 3D orthodontics is accelerating and while the scanner is the first, obvious, purchase, many colleagues, including me, face the doubt if to buy or not a 3D printer.It seems that if you don’t have a 3D printer, you cannot really close the digital circle. It’s like being partially out of the game.
