Key Opinion Leader in Functional Orthodontics
Dr. Liliana Ferrari is an orthodontist and university lecturer in Latin America with extensive clinical and academic experience. Over the course of her career, she has progressively integrated functional and myofunctional principles into her orthodontic practice. In her clinical experience, addressing oral function and habits alongside tooth alignment has contributed to improved treatment stability in selected patients.
Use of LM‑Activator™ in Clinical Practice
For me, the LM‑Activator™ is more than a tooth‑positioning appliance. I use it as part of a functional approach that aims to support healthy oral habits. Through its design and material properties, the appliance provides gentle guidance that may help patients become more aware of their oral functions, such as breathing, swallowing, and chewing. In my practice, I have found that its simplicity, patient comfort, and ease of selection can facilitate patient compliance in growing patients. These characteristics make it a useful option for early interceptive treatment and for supporting functional re‑education within an orthodontic workflow.
