Abstract
With customized lingual appliances, we are able to predictably treat practically any
type of case. Although providing lingual orthodontics is a fantastic service to offer,
it can be challenging to implement in an already busy practice. This article covers
strategies and logistics of integrating lingual treatment into your practice. Scheduling
properly, excellent team training, case selection, appropriate delegation, and having
realistic expectations are all part of the formula for success. Knowing the limitations
of lingual treatment, especially in your hands, and understanding the unique potential
side effects that can occur with lingual treatment is also important. Although lingual
appliances can be tricky at first, having an enthusiastic and dedicated team that
is willing to learn makes the transition into lingual braces much smoother. From making
sure your team gets the best lingual training and an abundance of hands-on experience,
to starting with less complicated cases to learn how to manage clinical time, this
article highlights key tips and tricks on how to adequately incorporate the new techniques
of lingual braces.
