Dr. Baxmann´s LEAN ORTHODONTICS®: The ultimate orthodontic evidence summary for specialists & MSC students (Dr. Baxmann´s LEAN ORTHODONTICS® - English Version)

Is LeanOrthodontics®️ really evidence based? Or is it just a summary of clinical flaws of one single clinician? This book gives you the answer. But it is more than that. It is a very helpful tool if you are a student and want to learn for your exams. It includes an extensive reading list of great articles. It is a guide for every clinician for a sound decision-making process, based on the best possible knowledge, available at the present time of the publication of this book. During the 70´s-90´s the mechanics in orthodontics and the combined work together with different dental specialities was in the focus of fantastic orthodontists like Ricketts, Andrews, Burstone, Alexander, Bennett, McLaughlin, Kokich, Zachrisson and Proffit, to name just a few. Fantastic improvements in knowledge were achieved, still being the foundation of what we (should) do today. The past two decades of the current century were different. They became extremely sales industry driven and product focused. Now a new era has just started with a focus on 3d printing, new materials and regaining the control over appliances and treatment mechanics back from large orthodontic companies. But again, there is a tendency for many to jump with mindcuffs on every upcoming idea. Psychologists call it the “shiny object syndrome”. It is so easy to avoid it: Join the community of LeanOrthodontics®️ and learn to think like a scientist (again). “Let´s bring the science back to clinical orthodontics!” Expect regular updates and sometimes changes. This is how life goes. When better evidence is available, proving a technique, a method or a famous paper wrong, then it is the time for the real LeanOrthodontist to push the ego aside, change the mind and apply what is best practice. Combine it with my clinical books and you are ready to master every clinical situation. Why? Because our patients deserve the best possible care. Because our orthodontic community can be a role model in the medical field. Because we want to aim to become the best possible version of ourselves as a clinician, as a teacher for our staff or students and as a guide for our patients seeking treatment and trusting us. Enjoy the read!
