The end of angle: Time to bury Class I and embrace functional reality
➡️ Speakers: Dr. Christian Leonhardt & Matthias Peper
➡️ Starting 7pm (CET)
Let's rewrite Orthodontics from the joint!
For over a century, Angle’s classification system has defined the orthodontic narrative. While historically foundational, its continued dominance reduces the intricate, adaptive nature of craniofacial development to a static snapshot of molar relationships. This oversimplification neglects the dynamic interplay of adaptation and compensation — particularly in relation to the temporomandibular joint, airway function, postural integration, and neuromuscular regulation.
➡️ This lecture offers a critical re-evaluation of the Angle paradigm in light of modern diagnostics and interdisciplinary insights. It challenges the notion that occlusal “Class I” represents health, revealing instead how such definitions can obscure underlying dysfunctions and lead to misguided treatment goals.
➡️ We propose a shift: from morphology to physiology, from static alignment to functional coherence. A joint-centered, airway-aware, and neurologically informed approach is no longer optional — it is essential for precision, predictability, and long-term stability.
➡️ Orthodontics must move beyond teeth. It must begin where function begins: at the joint.
