Our department was the first postgraduate orthodontic program worldwide to incorporate the lingual technique as a component of clinical training, under the supervision of a globally recognized expert in this field. Additionally, the curriculum includes the placement of temporary osseous implants and integrates the most recent technological and clinical advancements, such as aligner therapy, as standard elements of our educational approach.
