Patient Centered Orthodontics – Barcelona, Spain
A few weeks ago, we held another edition of the Patient Centered Orthodontics course in Barcelona, Spain.
I am deeply grateful to Itamar for once again inviting me to be part of this course. It is both a privilege and a pleasure to work alongside him.
Every time I come here, I feel at home. I return inspired, excited about orthodontics, and aware that opportunities like this may not come around forever. That is why I try to live and enjoy every moment intensely.
I love this course because it represents the kind of orthodontics I truly believe in: real orthodontics. An orthodontics free from marketing, appliance dependency, or rigid philosophies.
A biologically driven and clinically oriented orthodontics, based on efficient mechanics and tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
This is not a course about skeletal anchorage versus extractions, nor about which appliance is better. It is not about showing impressive before and after cases. It is about understanding why we treat the way we do.
We discuss the step by step process, biological limitations, biomechanics, complications, and how to manage them. Most importantly, we focus on delivering individualized treatments while respecting biology and considering facial aesthetics, periodontal health, TMJ health, and long-term stability.
Real orthodontics is evolving. It is becoming more surgical, but also more predictable and stable over time, moving beyond simplistic approaches.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who attended the course. Thank you for your motivation, for leaving your families behind, and for dedicating yourselves to three demanding and intense days of learning.
A special thank you to Itamar, Augusta, and their entire family for their friendship and for all the kindness and affection they have shown to me and my family.
Los quiero!
I leave Barcelona grateful, fulfilled, and motivated to continue growing as an orthodontist for the benefit of my patients.
