MORNING PLENARY SESSION: PRACTITIONERS AND ASSISTANTS TOGETHER

DR GILDA MIRGHANE – Qualified specialist in dentofacial orthopedics
Introduction
What are the trends within our practice? Our practices are being digitized, and new digital tools are radically transforming our approach. In 2024, the range of aligners available is expanding. What innovative orthodontic techniques have been specifically designed for children and adolescents?
We will look at the different protocols and tips by offering personalized excellence-based treatments adapted to growing patients.
Materials and Methods
Today, digital tools make it possible to create 3D images of patients’ teeth quickly and accurately. They are essential for communication, patient management, and patient cooperation. The sequence of our patients’ appointments with aligners is very similar to that of our other patients using other appliances. However, with 3D planning software, clinicians can plan each treatment from start to finish.
In 2024, aligner therapy is an ideal option for orthodontics in young adolescents and our children, offering a discreet and effective alternative to traditional appliances. This technique makes it possible to correct dental malocclusions early, thereby avoiding more intensive treatments in adulthood. It is part of a modern approach to orthodontics, in which comfort and aesthetics play a key role in treating young patients.
Conclusion
The digital world is transforming our practices. The digital revolution is changing the way we practice orthodontics, offering more personalized, effective and discreet treatments. It is essential to stay at the forefront of these advances in order to provide patients with excellence

DR ANNE DELIOT
Limited to orthodontics
Modern orthodontics is moving toward a comprehensive view of our patients’ health, with a more holistic approach aimed at achieving functional and postural balance. The Bioprogressive philosophy is fully aligned with this trend, by advocating management of dysfunctions and dysmorphoses as early as possible.
Today, the combination of functional educators and aligners provides a modern solution for interceptive treatments. By integrating functional, aesthetic, and technological dimensions, this comprehensive approach aims for optimal results while strengthening patient and clinician satisfaction.
Does this new option reflect the transition toward orthodontics 2.0, where technology and functional understanding come together for personalized, long-lasting care?
This presentation will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of this new therapeutic option through clinical cases
12:00 p.m.–1:00 p.m.
DR SANDY HERMER
Dental surgeon specialist in dentofacial orthopedics
Why and how I now include, as a preamble to all my care, a comprehensive information approach… I’ll tell you!
1:00 p.m.–2:00 p.m.: LUNCH
AFTERNOON: 2 GROUPS / 2 ROOMS
1. PRACTITIONERS GROUP:
2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m.
DR CAMILLE PHILIP-ALLIEZ – Qualified specialist in dentofacial orthopedics. University Lecturer-Practitioner Hospital since 2011 at the School of Dental Medicine in Marseille. Member of the Fissures Labio-alveolo-palatal competence center at La Timone Hospital in Marseille.
Some young patients presenting a significant skeletal discrepancy with a strong morpho-aesthetic and psychological impact may require surgical correction during their growth. Therefore, “interceptive” surgery may be considered in cases of severe skeletal dysmorphologies of secondary or functional origin. It will lead to early normalization, with the immediate consequence of breaking the “morpho-dysfunctional spiral”.
3:30 p.m.–4:00 p.m.: BREAK
4:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.
DR IMEN BOUALLEGUE – Qualified specialist in dentofacial orthopedics. Reference orthodontist at the CRMR Centre de références des Fentes et maladies rares (Necker Children’s Hospital). Former university hospital assistant associated with the UFR of Reims, DU in lingual and aesthetic orthodontics.
Cleft lip and palate are today the most common congenital craniofacial malformation and still inspire many research efforts in order to understand the most effective care pathway. The care journey for a patient with cleft lip and palate can be particularly long; it will extend, depending on the severity of the condition, from birth to
the end of growth and will require appropriately tailored multidisciplinary management, respecting a precise treatment schedule linked to the anatomical specificities of this condition.
At the heart of this team, the orthodontist will need to intervene from the earliest stages of the care pathway, through intelligent and ongoing collaboration with the different stakeholders, to enable durable functional and aesthetic rehabilitation in this particular growth context.
Through this practical and clinical communication, we propose to clarify the main lines of early orthodontic management in order to optimize it.
