What are the primary advantages of using the LM-Activator™ compared to other orthodontic methods, and how does it contribute to the long-term dental health of children?
I consider that LM-Activators™ are the appliances that can change the lives of our children, because you can start from a very early age. In childhood the results are stable in time if you are using these kind of appliances. The changes seen in the smiles of our children and their profile are important for self-confidence and from a psychological point of view, I think it’s very important to start from an early age.
Eruption guidance appliances will make space for the permanent teeth and will also equilibrate and restore the functions. After the primary and mixed dentition, the permanent teeth are growing straight and developing beautiful smiles. I have been interested in early treatment in orthodontics since I was an undergraduate, and after that I continued working in the field. I’ve been working for 17 years now with this kind of appliances in orthodontics.

What kind of results have you seen at patients treated with LM-Activator™?
It has been spectacular results. Especially in a very short time. The children cooperate very well and they say it is a very comfortable device, more comfortable than others used, and the treatment times in my clinic are really short.
What does the LM-Activator™ mean to you?
For me LM-Activator™ at this moment is the best way to work. It’s my hobby, in a way, because I feel very comfortable working with LM-Activator™. And I believe that this passion for the appliance inspires my patients and when I find results from other patients treated with an LM-Activator™ they absolutely always affect the treatment.

What are the primary advantages of using the LM-Activator™ compared to other orthodontic methods, and how does it contribute to the long-term dental health of children?
Treatment with LM-Activator™ is easy, economical, environmental, and does not cause any harm to the teeth. The primary benefit of the LM-Activator™ is to guide the teeth into the correct position, working simultaneously in 3-dimensions: sagittal, vertical and transversal, during the developmental period. The treatment with the LM-Activator™ can be started before and during teeth eruption, meaning before the malocclusion develops, therefore, we can get long-term stable results. I have about 13 years experience with the early treatment of malocclusion.

What kind of results have you seen at patients treated with LM-Activator™?
I think compared to other orthodontic appliances, the thing is that LM-Activator can take care of several different kind of problems at the same time. For instance, maybe it corrected the position of erupting teeth and it helped to change the balance of the muscles. And this time it can coordinate the arch form of upper and lower and help to put the upper and lower arch in proper position three dimensionally. Also, it’s like a new stimulant into the system and a lot of times it gave me some good results I didn’t expect. So that’s why I like it.
