  “Tired of “ALMOST” finished cases with aligners I was looking for options so I decided to attend the recent ALOA meeting. 2 days of great speakers from all over the world with study club- like interactions, open and frank discussions, lingual specific exhibitors and hands-on-sessions-what more can you ask for? If you have to choose one meeting to attend it has to be  ALOA!       Dr. Jaime de Jesus Vinas Our Mission

aloa The American Lingual Orthodontic Association is organized exclusively for charitable, scientific and educational purposes, more specifically to promote, educate and research lingual appliances in the field or orthodontics.

 

          

The term “lingual” refers to the inside (tongue or palate) surface of the tooth. Lingual braces are attached to that inside surface unlike traditional braces which are fixed to the outside of the teeth. With the braces positioned on the inner surface, it makes them practically invisible and provides cosmetic orthodontic treatment without the distraction of typical braces.

2018 Congress Testimonials:
