Key Presenters
Dr Ana Lorena Gómez
Dr Ana Lorena Gómez has practiced general dentistry for 27 years. Her practice was exclusively orthodontics for 17 years, however, she incorporated The Myobrace® System as a regular treatment for her patients in 2009. This resulted in an increase in the number of patients treated and better results in stability of cases and facial harmony. Dr Gómez shares her experience of how she changed the way of doing the initial diagnoses, incorporating myofunctional evaluations and, in doing so, was able to address the problem of bad function earlier and as part of an integral preventive orthodontic treatment, changing the way the delivery of care was given.
Dr Paulo Soares
Dr Paulo Soares graduated from the Federal University of Sergipe, Brazil. He specialized in orthodontics and facial orthopedics. In 2012, Dr Paulo became the first Myobrace® Certified Provider in Brazil and has since trained hundreds of dentists in myofunctional orthodontics in his private practice. He always tries to intervene and prevent malocclusion and craniofacial dystrophies from the earliest time possible by treating soft tissue dysfunction and airway issues.
