Orthotown September 2022 - 56

An
Expanded View
of Excellence
by Dr. Ilies Tibaoui
Dr. Ilies Tibaoui is in
private practice with his
wife in Algiers, Algeria.
He is also a member and
instructor of the Pitts
Master Program.
Because of the important
roles management and communication play in
orthodontics, Tibaoui is particularly interested in
organizational and behavioral psychology.
He specializes in teaching aesthetics and beauty
for orthodontists, the Pitts Protocol, blending
extraradicular TADs with passive self-ligating
brackets for complex cases, digital smile design,
emotional dentistry and communication.
T
raditional training led orthodontists
toward our role in positioning teeth
and jaws. To put it simply, we were
taught to move teeth, and like many readers,
I actively sought orthodontists who
could teach skills that produced wonderful
outcomes.
I had seen many skilled clinicians, but
cases that truly stood out aestheticially
were not common. In 2012 or 2013, I was
introduced to Dr. Tom Pitts, and in his
cases I found the combination of beautiful
faces, beautiful smiles and beautiful teeth
that illustrated Dr. David Sarver's " macro-,
mini- and microaesthetic " terminology.1
In 2014, I participated in a Pitts' Masters
in Finishing program to acquire the
skills that got my cases within the ballpark
of what I wanted to accomplish aesthetically.
In the program, I learned about pre56

bonding positive and negative coronoplasty
to attain improved aesthetics quickly
(Fig. 1) and the value of aesthetic fi nishing
of both white and pink tissues.
Most orthodontists who are familiar
with Pitts' approach to smile arc protection
(SAP), vertical incisor display (VID)
and bracket placement2
also know about
prebonding negative coronoplasty of cuspids
and bicuspids to improve alignment
of the contact point of the dentition and
fl ow in aesthetic presentation. Pitts also
advocates prebonding positive coronoplasty
to restore optimal tooth length before
bonding.
To get the most beautiful results and
make patients' smiles stand out, I decided
to acquire more knowledge about shaping
teeth for aesthetic fi nishing. This led me
to reconnect with dentistry, taking cours
