Dr Alexander Gebhardt has been using the 2D lingual system since 2004, developing a thorough understanding of both its advantages and limitations.

Over the years he’s established an economic approach to case selection, allowing him to optimise the workflow and efficiency of his practice and achieve better outcomes for his patients.

Alexander will be delivering both a hands-on workshop and evening presentation on behalf of BLOS, sharing his experience of working with this “amazing lingual bracket”.

You’ll learn how to select the best cases and ultimately achieve Alexander’s level of appreciation for the 2D lingual system.

2–5.30pm How to Prepare Your 2D Lingual Cases

During this interactive workshop Alexander will demonstrate his own workflow, from diagnostics to bonding. You’ll learn how to save time, reduce appointments and improve your efficiency, for example by reducing the need to re-bond brackets. We'll also discuss the potential problems associated with an indirect bonding technique – and how to mitigate them.

6.30–9.30pm Using the 2D Lingual System in Everyday Practice

In the evening, Alexander will deliver a presentation on the theory of the 2D lingual system, including its advantages, disadvantages, sources of error and individual working steps.

The cost of your ticket includes light refreshments, and all the proceeds from the event will be donated to Smile Train to help support their fantastic work training local surgeons to repair cleft lips and palates.

This event satisfies 5 hours of verifiable CPD in accordance with the GDC’s educational criteria.
