The 6 elements of Orofacial Harmony

Orthodontics is a full mouth rehabilitation. The dentist, who is planning and designing an orthodontic treatment, has to integrate notions and competences through several fields of dentistry: restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, periodontology, aesthetics, and orthodontics.

This holistic need is the condicio sine qua non to address the long term success. The lack of it, instead, would lead invariably to some degree of failure or iatrogenics. Indeed,orthodontics has become the mother of iatrogenics in dentistry during the last decades. This is, sadly, under your eyes on a daily basis. And the main reason is the lack of the panoramic and comprehensive vision of many dentists performing the orthodontic treatment. The excessive specialization often leads to focus on the tree, losing the forest.
Every dentist, even those who do not perform the orthodontic treatment, should have solid foundations in orthodontics, that is often a necessary strategy in the care of our patients.

Tomorrow Tooth has the great pleasure to invite Dr. Marco Antonio Estrada Vitorino to tailor a 3-days course, addressed either to the general dentist and to the specialist, with the aim to offer an holistic frame to the orthodontic patient.

Dr. Antonio is a sublime orthodontist, whose tremendous attention to details has enraptured and humbled my attention. He is director of Six Elements of Orofacial Harmony, founded by Dr. Andrews, the father of modern orthodontic rationality.
