Prof. MICHEL LE GALL (France)
Professor Michel Le Gall is a specialist in dentofacial orthopedics (CECSMO) who graduated from the University of Aix Marseille in 1986. Doctor holds a PhD in Energy Mechanics on the frictional behavior of dental movement in ODF and holds an Habilitation to Direct Research.
He is an Associate Researcher at the Applied Biomechanics Laboratory UMRT24 IFSTTAR and Professor of University-Hospital Practitioner Head of Department in Dento-facile Orthopedics at the Timone Hospital and Head of Department at the Marseille School of Dentistry.
With the collaboration of Drs Pierre-Jean Soulié and Jany Volpi, he is the inventor of the TGO® Technique. The originality of this prescription lies in the undersizing of the grooves of the attachments of the maxillary and mandibular incisors (.020 x .028 in) increasing torque control in certain strategic phases of treatment ranging from leveling, through the phases from premolar, canine and incisor retractions to interarch correction and intercuspidation.
In this spirit of renewal and innovation, the TGO and the ideas of the GET( Dr Stefano TROIANI) have decided to merge to make this clinical concept even more efficient and effective.
