Updates on the FACE
Treatment
Philosophy.
A two-day clinical journey through fixed appliances and aligners — with Dr. Domingo Martin and Dr. Alberto Canabez.
Two days. Seven clinical questions. One philosophy — refined by decades of practice and reframed for the age of the aligner.
The FACE philosophy has shaped a generation of orthodontists. In Cluj-Napoca, Dr. Domingo Martin and Dr. Alberto Canabez bring the framework up to date — showing, case by case, how fixed appliances and aligners answer today's most difficult questions, from open bites to extraction decisions.
Two voices,
one philosophy.


Dr. Alberto Canabez
Seven topics,
seen through
both lenses.
Each topic is examined twice — once with fixed appliances, once with aligners — so you leave with a clear framework for choosing the right approach for the patient in front of you.
- 01
Open Bites
A variety of open bite cases treated with brackets, alongside cases resolved with aligners — a comparative look at when each approach delivers.
- 02
Class II
Brackets or aligners? Complete records guide the decision. When to treat a Class II — and when to leave a case in Class II.
- 03
Class III
Still a challenge. Cases treated with brackets, TADs and aligners. The camouflage question: when to camouflage, when to refer for surgery.
- 04
TMJ / TMD
TMD is now an essential part of practice. Cases treated with brackets and aligners, and the pivotal role of TADs in TMD treatment.
- 05
Hidden Open Bites
Relapse and never-ending cases often trace back to a hidden open bite. How to diagnose it — and treat it with brackets and aligners.
- 06
Multidisciplinary
With more adult patients than ever, multidisciplinary care is central. Treatment pathways using both aligners and brackets.
- 07
Extractions
Yes — extractions still exist. Modern cases can be resolved with aligners as well as with brackets. Diagnosis leads the plan.
