3 Sessions, theory and practice, every two months.
This course is designed to provide the ability to treat all the cases by lingual orthodontics.
The theorical and clinical course will be developed in 3 sessions of 24 hours each session, every session will undergo in three days. The three days session will be every two month.
During each session the participant will be encourage to discuss his own cases with the lecturer.
