The Use of Bidimensional Bracket in lingual Orthodontics. New horizons in the treatment of adult patients

Please supply portrait of Author Summary: The aim of the present report is to describe a new esthetic and inexpensive lingual technique that employs two-dimensional (2D) lingual brackets, superelastic lingual archwires, and direct bracket bonding, without a set-up. The ease of direct application of 2D lingual brackets makes it possible to achieve a good functional occlusion also in the presence of severe malocclusions, by adopting the biomechanical options offered by lingual appliances, as well as bypassing many factors that complicate conventional lingual treatment.
