The Technological Contribution Of New Materials Allows The Emergence Of New Orthodontic Approaches
Although presented more than half a century ago, Ricketts technique is still modern. It is based on the biologic principle of the use of very light forces, perfectly measured for each tooth and orthopedic maxillary . They are principles, developed and designed are present in today’s techniques MBT, Roth , light force ( 3D custom design braces) and all current aligners system .Brief “The tool doesn’t matter, what matters is how you use it .” This therapy has a hierarchical sequence for treat both early mixed dentition and permanent . Another advantage of the bioprogressive technique, emphasized by the author is that its purpose is not an absolute standardization of treatment; there are certain principles, but the diagnosis, planning and manner of the therapy are individualized to fit the specific needs of each patient .There is no doubt that the introduction of Ricketts cephalometric analysis and VTO into orthodontic diagnostics is very significant which is an indispensable part of contemporary orthodontics.

Path To Progressive Functionality
Dr. Sotomayor obtained his dental degree from the Metropolitan University in Barranquilla , Colombia (Unimetro), in 1997. He then attended the John F. Kennedy University in Buenos Aires (BA) Argentina (U.Kennedy) where he completed his Orthodontic training and received in 2004 his degree as Orthodontics specialist. After finishing his thesis work related to facial bio-typologies, Dr. Sotomayor was proud to have received a direct invitation from the academic committee to join the teaching staff of the U.Kennedy. Work he did uninterruptedly in the area of cephalometric diagnosis and Ricketts bioprogressive clinic over 13 years. Wanting to improve the success rate in his orthodontic treatments, in 2006 he completed the postgraduate course in minor implant surgery at the circulo Arg de odontologia (CAO) Introducing the new for the time TADs temporal anchor screws . Allowing him to give theoretical and practical courses both in his alma mater and at different institutes in BA. Finally, between 2011 and 2013, he studied medicine at Universidad abierta interamericana (UAI) with the aim of deepening his surgical training. Beyond not continuing a medical career, those 2 years allowed him to improve his understanding of the more comprehensive human body, understanding and confirming that our patients are not just a bunch of crooked teeth but all physiologically connected systems.
