“Everything new generates resistance. The evolution of three-dimensional diagnosis naturally requires a period of acceptation and adaptation. The use of tomographs in odontological and orthodontic diagnosis is also subject to resistance, under the unfounded arguments that the radiation used in the process is harmful, that the cost is high for the patient, etc. In a short time, these arguments will be totally meaningless. The benefits of 3D diagnosis are unquestionable. Using detailed measurement, based on high-definition images, and symmetry to evaluate the patient would in, itself, be a great gain.”

“The big problem with past orthodontics, 2D orthodontics, teleradiographs was not evaluating the occlusion curves, not evaluating the bone thickness, how much the incisor is inside the bone. A correct diagnosis is not possible without the use of a three-dimensional protocol. Three dimensional diagnosis is fundamental in terms of temporomandibular joint, superior airway, soft tissue evaluation, underlying pathologies that you can't see. I can't imagine any patient of mine today being evaluated for any kind of Orth Surgical treatment without the use of a three dimensional diagnosis."

“We are currently living in a time of great transformations. The evolution of science, supported by technology, has transformed our profession and our specialty producing new paradigms. With the use of tomographs and three-dimensional protocols in dentistry, we have gone from a "floor plan" evaluation to a complete, clear and much more accurate volumetry. It's an amazing, rich, and never-ending universe. The evolution of orthodontics, without a doubt, requires a three-dimensional diagnosis.”
