His CV includes postdoctoral certificates from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and the Forsyth Dental Center. Dr. Roncone’s practice in San Diego County, California, specializes in adult treatment (aesthetics, surgical and TMD) as well as “early” treatment for children. He is a respected and frequent lecturer, having taught more than 500 seminars around the globe. His impressive list of technical innovations include long (8-12 week) intervals between patient appointments, which he introduced in 1989 through the use of titanium wires, and the development of a unique prescription for bands and brackets. He is widely known in the orthodontic community as the “Guru of Marketing.” Lingual You Will Love By: Dr. Ronald M. Roncone Lingual Orthodontics are not new in the world of Orthodontics. Crude attempts at lingual orthodontics were tried many years ago. The first true lingual began almost simultaneously about 1980 with Dr. Kurz of California and Dr. Fujita of Japan. Patients around the world were hungry for an appliance which would give them straight teeth but could not be seen. Because of the potential commercial windfall various companies entered the market place. In the United States many orthodontists immediately jumped into this new area only to realize that working with braces on the inside of teeth was not nearly as easy as it was when attached to the outside surfaces of teeth. Due to the steep learning curve, the general acceptance of braces by U.S. citizens and the improvement in clear braces; lingual orthodontics, with a few notable exceptions disappeared. Meanwhile, those orthodontists outside of the U.S. worked on mastering lingual and making slow steady improvements to the various techniques. All of these statements have some element of truth in them, yet all can be refuted. This paper will attempt to address all of these statements. However, even if they could not be totally refuted, one overriding factor remains: Patients want “invisible” orthodontics!! For many years the most used bracket in lingual orthodontics was the Kurz bracket (Ormco). It was a solid, well conceived bracket which went through seven generations. The bracket remains basically the same as it was almost twenty years ago. Other lingual brackets have been developed over the years, but most of the “improvements” have come in the area of precision placement of the brackets. Doctors Takemoto, Scuzzo, Fillion, Wiechmann and others have made significant contributions in this area. Several years ago the biggest leap in development was the size of brackets conceived by Drs. Takemoto and Scuzzo. The bracket was very small and targeted the anterior teeth commonly referred to as The “Social Six”. Interest is again building for use of the lingual bracket as part of the orthodontist’s offerings to their patients due to the high demand for an invisible solution. Some common observations arose from the initial experience with lingual orthodontics. • Lingual orthodontic treatment takes longer. • Results of lingual treatment are not as good as labial treatment. • Lingual treatment is too hard on the orthodontist because of poor postural positions required. • Patients do not speak well with lingual braces. • Tongue irritations are a constant problem for lingual patients. • Patient visits take substantially longer with lingual braces. • The time required to master lingual treatment is not worth the effort. • It is too difficult to tie-in archwires. Yet with all the improvements, lingual orthodontics remained difficult. For the patient, speech problems could be overcome, but it was not a quick or easy adjustment. Patients also took a long time getting used to the tongue irritations. Gingival hyperplasia was also a common problem. 2 Even when the orthodontist mastered the “mechanics” of lingual, it was still difficult to ligate the wire to the brackets. Wire tying stainless steel ligatures to each bracket or using special-ties such as the “double over” tie were very time consuming and difficult. With these thoughts in mind the next stage of lingual treatment necessarily led to lingual self-ligation. Several years ago, in conjunction with GAC, we began the development of the In-Ovation “L”. It is currently in use in many areas of the world. The bracket is small: 1.5mm in thickness and 2.2mm in width. The clip is very easily opened and closed which eliminates the difficult and time consuming task of wire tying or placing elastomeric modules. The same basic philosophy of light wire treatment that is part of the In-Ovation “R” and “C” protocol can be used on the lingual. With all of these advancements in technology, the highest degree of quality still requires indirect procedures for full lingual. Many excellent methods of indirect are currently available. As an offshoot of this self-ligating bracket (SLB) it is very easy to treat simple cases requiring no basic changes in occlusion with In-Ovation “LMTM” (L=Lingual, MTM=Minor Tooth Movement). Mild to moderate crowding of the anterior teeth can easily be treated in a matter of weeks. All of the cases that our office has treated have been completed within the 6 week to 4 ½ month period. Most of these are under 10 weeks. In-Ovation LMTM utilizes a reduced base size and is designed to address these simple cosmetic cases. The reduced base allows the clinician to place the bracket near the incisal/occlusal edges of teeth thereby eliminating any gingival irritation problems. It allows clinicians to correct minor misalignments with minimal office and chairtime incorporating only a simple round wire treatment. Figure 3: In-Ovation “LMTM” closed Figure 1: In-Ovation “L” closed Figure 5: In-Ovation “LMTM”back view Figure 2: In-Ovation “L” opened 3 Figure 4: In-Ovation “LMTM” side view Figure 6: In-Ovation “LMTM” opened clip Almost every day, a mother or father of a patient expresses their desire to have straight teeth but they do not want to show braces and they don’t want it to take very long. Some of these patients had braces years ago and did not continue to wear retainers and subsequently developed crowding of the anterior teeth. Most of these people have good to excellent posterior occlusions. In my opinion the use of LMTM has many advantages over retainers and aligners: • Truly invisible. • Very tiny (1.5mm thick) virtually eliminates tongue irritation. • Minimal speech problems. • They are not dependent on patient cooperation (other than proper brushing). • Since they are placed near the incisal/occlusal edges of teeth, there is little gingival problem. Others never had braces but have continued to get crowding of teeth over the years. In the past I would attempt to correct these problems with retainers. The problem was that most people did not wear these retainers enough to obtain the results desired. Their treatment would continue on for many months. This was frustrating both for the patient and me. The treatment also became a financial disadvantage. • They can be placed directly; therefore no laboratory fees are involved. For those who routinely do their own indirect bonding you can continue the process if you so desire. • Chair time is very minimal at each appointment. There are no “re-ties”. The light round wire continues to align teeth if left alone. • 80% of patients require only one wire. • The clips open easily and close easily with the tool provided, or with an explorer (my choice). While clear aligners have become popular this was not the answer for me because of the excessive amount of time it takes at the computer planning for relatively simple treatment. In addition the expense of the aligners was also a concern that ultimately led me to look for a better solution • Depending on country, province or state laws, placement and removal of archwires is easily a task that can be delegated to auxiliaries. Figure 7: In-Ovation “LMTM” series closed to opened choose a compromise result if their current malocclusion is not worsened. Certainly not all those who desire LMTM treatment are good candidates. Case selection is important. LMTM is meant as a cosmetic alternative only. Those patients whose correction requires root torque or uprighting are not good candidates. However, those who desire alignment only who might obtain “better” treatment if full bonded appliances were placed may still They must understand the unstable nature of the result and agree to lifetime retention. These patients should be fully informed of the limitations of such treatment and sign a potential risk and liability disclosure form (shown next page). 4 LMTM Cosmetic Orthodontics _____ It has been fully explained to me that the orthodontic treatment I have agreed to is cosmetic in nature only. _____ LMTM (Lingual Minor Tooth Movement) will be a short duration only (8 weeks to 5 months) depending on the amount of crowding involved. _____ Appointments will be from three (3) to six (6) week intervals. Due to the rapid nature of tooth movement, a strict schedule must be adhered to. If a scheduled appointment is missed it may be necessary to reschedule at a time which may be inconvenient in order to maintain proper control of tooth movement. _____ Wear on anterior (front teeth) can place the thicker part of those teeth in a position which does not look perfectly aligned. As an alternative, your family dentist may restore the worn teeth either before or after the orthodontics. _____ Since roots may not be positioned precisely as is possible with full braces, it will be necessary to wear lifetime retainer(s). These may either be of the removable, or the fixed type. In most cases, the fixed or non-removable type will be recommended.

Do…in most cases, bond brackets 44. Do…make use of crimpable stops. Do…use open coil (Sentalloy stopwound) springs where appropriate. Do…use a straight .012 Sentalloy as your first wire when you would like to upright first bicuspids or rotate a canine that has a distal lingual rotation. Do…use a “Mushroom” arch always as your second (final) wire. Do…see patients every 5-6 weeks. Do…add some type of build up to the occlusal of upper molars when bonding maxillary teeth. This will prevent lower incisors from biting into the upper brackets. Do…realize and have the patient understand that this is cosmetic only. Do…always check with .001 Shimstock (with patient in the seated position) to be sure there is no tooth contact 3-3. Lingually inclined upper anteriors or other cases of overcoupling will lead to distal displacement of the mandible and TMD problems.

Sentalloy (straight) placed for six weeks ideally and NEVER more than eight weeks. Used only when: First premolars are tipped lingually and need to be moved labially Canines are rotated distolingually and need to be rotated into a more ideal position All of these patients (Patient A, B and C) have a disto lingual rotation and therefore are ideal candidates for a straight .012 Sentalloy wire. Figure 18: Patient A Figure 19: Patient B Figure 20: Patient C 14 .012 Sentalloy Mushroom Figure 22: .012 Sentalloy Mushroom Arch Figure 21: .012 Sentalloy Mushroom Arch Usually used as an initial archwire (in most cases). In slightly crowded cases this may be the only wire used. .014 Sentalloy Mushroom Figure 24: .014 Sentalloy Mushroom Arch Figure 23: .014 Sentalloy Mushroom Arch May be a first or second archwire 15 .016 Resolve First bend in mushroom arch Figure 25: .016 Resolve Figure 26: Bend into mushroom arch This is a Beta-titanium wire which can be bent into a mushroom arch and additionally have step up or step down bends placed in it. It can also be used with a closing loop in space closure situations. 16 Figure 27: Closing loop Figure 28: Helical loop (side view) Figure 29: Helical loop Open Coil Sentalloy Springs Sentalloy stop wound open coil springs (GAC) are often used to open space between crowded teeth so that brackets can be properly placed and/or to make room so that wires can be properly engaged into brackets. Figure 30: Sentalloy stop wound open coil spring 17 Crimpable Stops Stops are often used to advance a wire so that teeth may be moved forward when desired. The stops are secured to the wire by using a distal end cutting plier and squeezing in 2 places on the stop. Figure 31: Crimpable Stops Figure 32: Advancing wire not engaged Figure 34: Crimpable stops 18 Figure 33: Engaged Potential Problems 1.) Overexpansion of premolars or canines This occurs when a straight Sentalloy .012 is used for too long a period of time. Ideally, a straight wire should be used for no more than 8 weeks and preferably 6 weeks. Premolar Overexpansion Figure 35: Initial (Patient A) Figure 36: .012 Sentalloy (straight)-The day braces were placed (Patient A) Figure 37: 10 weeks later overexpansion of premolar and placement of .012 mushroom (Patient A) Figure 38: Problem is fixed, day of removal No other wire other than that placed in figure 37 was used. (Patient A) Patient A 19 Canine Overexpansion Figure 39: (Patient B) Figure 40: .012 Sentalloy (straight)-the day braces were placed (Patient B) Figure 41: Overexpansion of canines–patient missed an appointment because of Mononucleosis, wire was in for 11 weeks. .012 Sentalloy mushroom was placed. (Patient B) Figure 42: Correction 6 weeks later-the the problem was easily corrected by placement of .012 Sentalloy mushroom arch (Patient B) Patient B 20 2.) Aligning teeth with excessive wear in the lower anteriors next to teeth with little to no wear This condition occurs rather frequently. If worn teeth are elevated so that incisal edges match, a thicker part of the worn tooth will be next to the non-worn tooth. Obviously, this will not appear to be perfect labio-lingually. A decision needs to be made on whether to live with the imperfection(s) or to bond the incisal edges of the worn teeth to the appropriate length before placement of the brackets. Figure 43: Before Figure 44: After Placing brackets too far from the incisal edge This results in discrepancies in the labial-lingual direction since the bracket is placed on the incisor cingulum which is obviously thicker than the incisal area. Closing Spaces This is more difficult than correcting crowding. If spaces are small they can easily be handled with small diameter elastic “thread” which is figure-eighted. Elastic chain will overpower the light wires and because of the lack of occlusal wings there would be difficulty anyway. Figure 45: Thread (Patient A) Figure 46: Thread (Patient B) 21 For larger spaces in which teeth need to be retracted, a tube should be placed on the first molars and a .016 Resolve wire with closing loops must be placed. Closing loop Figure 47: Closing loops Figure 48: Closing loops on patient Engaging brackets that are displaced labially to a significant degree Remember that teeth want to move toward the wire. Eventually reciprocal forces would align teeth, but it will take significantly longer. Don’t engage these teeth at the initial appointment: Figure 49: The day braces were placed. Lower right central incisor not engaged Figure 50: 5 weeks later. Lower right central incisor engaged 22 Bonding only canine to canine While appropriate in some circumstances, it is usually not advantageous. Bonding 4-4 gives more options than bonding 3-3. Stops can be used and open coil Sentalloy springs can also be used more easily. Figure 51: 4-4 push coil springs (Patient A) Figure 52: 4-4 push coil springs (Patient B) Sentalloy open coil Crimpable stops Figure 53: Crimpable stops and coil (Patient C) 23 Wire Pokes Wires which are only slightly out of place can cause significant problems with the tongue. To avoid these problems the ends of wires can be annealed so they are “dead soft”; bond 4-4 instead of 3-3 which allows for easier access to distal ends; use the Roncone Distal Bending Plier. In some cases it is preferable to leave the wire long and over the occlusal surface of a premolar rather than make multiple bends to place them lingual to the teeth. When using the Distal Bending Plier, the wire does not need to be made “dead soft”. Figure 54: Bend wire down Figure 55: Bend wire down Figure 56: Bend wire up Figure 57: Bend wire up Figure 58: Wire over occlusal Figure 59: Bent 4-4 with Distal Bending Plier 24 Placing brackets on canines with a pronounced central cingulum Teeth in this category cause a “rocking” or “rolling” problem when placed directly. To avoid this, a composite build up on either side of the cingulum is performed in the mouth. This provides a flat surface on which to place the LMTM bracket. Those offices using indirect with a custom base do not obviously have this problem.The following example is shown on a model but is done intraorally. Figure 60: “Rocking” Figure 61: Central cingulum is pronounced Figure 62: Composite build up Figure 63: Providing flat surface to place bracket Retention Because LMTM is a cosmetic only orthodontic procedure, stability can be a problem. Roots are not aligned or torqued. Crowns are merely aligned and leveled. It is recommended that fixed retention be used especially on the lower. The author’s preference is the use of dead soft .011 ligature wire folded back on it two times to provide three strands. These strands are squeezed together and placed from canine to canine on the lower and if use on the upper the teeth deemed appropriate by the orthodontist. These strands are burnished against the teeth. A small amount of the bonding material of your choice is then placed over the wire on each tooth. 25 Figure 64: Ligature wire Figure 65: Measure Figure 66: Squeezed together Figure 67: Three strands Figure 68: Bonding Figure 69: 3-3 bonded retainer (patient A) Figure 70: 3-3 bonded retainer (patient B) 26 Typical LMTM Cases 1.)

Total treatment time 16 weeks Patient D 41 There you have it. An invisible, easy, quick, highly delagatable, patient friendly, inexpensive method which gives a large segment of potential patients exactly what they have wanted for years. In the minds of some orthodontists is one thought or question. The best or correct method of treatment is full bonded orthodontics. If the patient does not want full treatment then I will not do compromised aesthetic treatment. My question to those orthodontists would be, “If a patient is best served by a combination orthodontics and orthognathic surgery, have you ever done orthodontics only? If so, why did you compromise?” What we must ask ourselves is can I make the patient happy without doing harm? If the answer is yes then you should consider In-Ovation LMTM.
