Docteur Didier Fillion - Orthodontiste - Expert Othodontie Linguale

PORTRAIT

AN OUTSTANDING CAREER

The first time you meet Dr Fillion, you'll be tempted to ask him about his outstanding career. He has been practising lingual orthodontics for 25 years and is a great believer in the importance of passing his knowledge on to younger colleagues. An internationally renowned speaker, he is highly respected within the profession, and his patient list reads like the pages of Who's Who.

PROUD
TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL SMILES

Although Dr Fillion is proud of his career and reputation, it rapidly becomes clear that something else is even more important to him. He places enormous value on his freedom to practise his profession as he sees fit, and the contribution his artistic flair makes to his daily work.

DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY AND BETTER

Didier Fillion has great strength of character. He is original, independent, ground-breaking and visionary, well-travelled and a great believer in people.
As such, very soon after qualifying he made the decision to do things differently. After practising orthodontics with young patients for several years, he bought an orthodontic practice in 1987, and made the decision to treat adult patients only.
His decision was unorthodox, but it proved extremely judicious.
In a world where self-image is increasingly important and looks are key, he rapidly gained a following, and not only among women - 25% of his patients are men.
Over the years, he has built up an exceptional amount of experience practising orthodontics for adults in Paris, London and Geneva.

ARTIST OR CRAFTSMAN?

Look, it's the artist!

Dr Fillion's close colleagues have affectionately nicknamed him "the artist", and many believe he is one of the only practitioners to achieve such excellent aesthetic results using lingual orthodontics.
Dr Fillion himself is rather more modest, describing himself as a craftsman. His manual dexterity and way of working do indeed call to mind an artisan.

ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

Once you sit down in Dr Fillion's chair, you can rest assured that he will look after the entire process personally. He, and no one else, will fit your appliance, defining the perfect positions for the minuscule invisible brackets and selecting the ideal wire to connect them together.
He will take care of you throughout your treatment.
Naturally, this means Dr Fillion builds up a excellent rapport with each of his patients. He sees this as a fundamental aspect of his work.

AN ARTIST'S EYE

ORTHODONTIST BY PROFESSION, AESTHETE BY NATURE

Dr Fillion's artistic sensibilities extend beyond his profession. He dedicates his rare moments of free time to two passions:
- travelling to the most beautiful places on the planet,
- photography - Dr Fillion is a highly skilled amateur photographer.

Ask him about his travels in Bhutan, or his expedition on the fringes of the desert in southern Egypt. He has a gift for conveying the moving beauty of these unspoilt landscapes.

LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS

MAIN ADVANTAGES

In contrast to traditional orthodontics, where appliances are fitted on the front of the teeth, in lingual orthodontics they are placed to the inner surfaces, in contact with the tongue. Your social life can continue, unhindered by your treatment.

Lingual orthodontics demand expertise, manual dexterity, aesthetic sensibilities and state-of-the-art digital technology.

Orthodontic treatment takes place over a number of months. Living as we do in an age of instant gratification, this may seem like a long time. However, if we are to work with nature and avoid damaging the patient's teeth, it is vital. Significant results can be seen long before treatment is finished.

Perfectly aligned teeth certainly give you a beautiful smile, but that is not all. They also help you chew better, improve your body's ability to digest food and contribute to your general health.

Anti-ageing orthodontics?

In Dr Fillion's view, lingual orthodontics go beyond simply aligning the patient's smile. He positions teeth to offer the best possible frame for the lips, reducing the effects of ageing on the face, so we really can talk about "anti-ageing orthodontics".

NEW TECHNOLOGY CONTRIBUTES TO A BEAUTIFUL SMILE

The artistic and craft skills used in his work are a priority for Dr Fillion, but state-of-the-art technology is also very important.
He is currently developing "Lingual Liberty", a digital technique to scan patients' teeth and display them in 3D on a computer so they can be aligned with complete precision.
On the screen, Dr Fillion defines the final position of the teeth.

Patients can view the end results of their treatment before a single bracket is attached.
The brackets are set on the virtual images to identify the most effective positioning: that which achieves the best results in the shortest time and reduces the toll taken on the face by ageing. 
The Lingual Liberty technique maximises accuracy, comfort and freedom for both patient and practitioner.
