MCLAUGHLIN BENNETT 5.0 DAY

OCTOBER 5TH, 2023 in the Auditorium della Tecnica

More than 25 years have passed since orthodontists Dr. Richard P. McLaughlin, Dr. John C. Bennett, and Dr. Hugo Trevisi presentedtheir McLaughlin/Bennett/Trevisi system to the international community of experts at the annual conference of the the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) in 1997.

After intensively studying the straight-wire technology launched by Lawrence F. Andrews and using it in their research since 1975, this system that they introduced represented an integrated concept based on their decades of experience. Based on the treatment philosophy developed by them, this concept includes a full range of standard brackets, precise details of where to place these brackets on the tooth, and detailed information about arch form and force levels. All of this is backed up by the two textbooks that have been published to date (1993 and 1997), in which the authors give clinical tips and recommendations.

As time went on, the McLaughlin/Bennett/Trevisi technology became the most widely used treatment method among orthodontists all over the world, and was continuously developedand optimized over the years with the aim of creating an "ideal" system.

The lectures will be delivered in English.
