Excellence in Advanced functional Orthodontics treatments
Welcome to Our Practice
In past years I was fortunate enough to attend courses with Dr. Robert Ricketts and his bioprogressive philosophy, considered by many to be one of the pillars of Modern Orthodontics.
He was essentially a researcher and statistician who revolutionized the techniques and diagnostic system in today’s Orthodontics. Ricketts learned Orthodontics practically “from those who invented it.” He had as teachers founding figures of Orthodontics such as Stainer, Nance, Brody, Tweed, who taught him their once famous cephalometry. Shortly thereafter, Ricketts verified with scientific methods that some bases of their cephalometries were “poorly referenced” because the cranial metric points that they considered “immovable” had many variations with growth. growth that can be perfectly predicted in healthy patients.
What to Expect
When asked in the large auditorium where Dr Ricketts was dictating that his technique would disappear with the advent of invisible aligner systems and pre-programmed braces. He has responded confidently. “It is possible that my utility arch and biomechanical systems that I have created will be replaced by new technology that makes the life of the modern orthodontist easier and is rather projected for phase II. But biological principles are and will be a standard for centuries and that is where the bioprogressive philosophy will endure because it respects and understands each malocclusion and dysfunction of each patient individually”.
One of the most well-known and popular aspects has had a very important diffusion, although irregular throughout the world, in Spain and France, has had and It has a great reputation, as it does in many American countries. The great strength of bioprogressive therapy is the early treatments in mixed dentition that we will classify as phase I. In this aspect, the identification of a growth pattern can predict and treat dental and/or skeletal alterations that will consolidate in adolescence.
Following the career of some contemporary leaders such as Dr D. Roth , Hugo Trevisi (MBT) , low friction brace systems, their objectives and programming and orthodontic system invisible aligners are indicated for permanent dentition and little or nothing is said about early treatments in mixed dentition. That is why the author’s motivation is to include all the new technology in orthodontics with the bioprogressive philosophy.

Growth prediction with his cephalometric system is one of the topics
emblematic of Dr. Ricketts his gestation
It goes back decades and continues, even
in more recent articles, giving it a value
extraordinary in the treatment plan.
Dr.Hugo Trevisi is a reference in international Orthodontics. with McLaughlin and John Bennett, he officially developed the MBT system, for pre-programmed devices, in a technique that was successfully spread throughout the world.
Dr. Ronald Roth, is known for his contributions to the field of orthodontics. introduced his “Roth Prescription” in 1975 for straight wire brackets and is also known for his philosophy, which includes the correction of malocclusion in harmony with functional occlusion.
Dr. Fayad B, Minimizing friction with pre-programmed self-ligating appliances and the alternative of invisible aligners is the future of orthodontic mechanics.
