Abstract

Nowadays we can count on different types of lingual brackets, pre-adjusted or totally customized, self-ligated or conventional, with different bases, slots and different needs. All of them have different features. The aim of this presentation is to show the difference between them, so the professional can make the right indication for each patient depending on the treatment needs. Many CAD-CAM successful lingual cases will be shown to prove how fast, easy and accurate is the new lingual treatment.
