Abstract
After difficult startings in the beginning of 80', the lingual orthodontics became slowly widespread among the orthodontic community due to the courses given by three american orthodontists: Craven Kurz, Jack Gorman and Bob Smith.
These three orthodontists have published in JCO in 1986 the first results of their clinical experience: Keys to success in lingual Therapy.
At our turn, after15 years of exclusive lingual orthodontic it seemed us interesting to have a look on the evolution of this technique and precise our “20 essentials keys” to get excellence.
