Ready to rethink what your brackets can do?
Join us for a dynamic session on active self-ligating brackets –
where precision meets performance in a tiny mechanical
marvel. From biomechanics to chairside efficiency, we’ll dive
into how the „clip, click, control” principle isn’t just
a catchphrase—it’s a game-changer in modern orthodontics.
Expect clear insights, real-world cases, and a fresh take on the
tools you use every day. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or
already a fan of self-ligation, this lecture will make you look at
brackets in a whole new way.
Come for the clicks. Stay for the control.

This office is considered a state of the art orthodontic office, including progressive concepts about service and efficiency using the latest digital developments. Dr. Sampermans is an affiliate member of the Angle Society in Southern California (USA) and has taught orthodontic treatment philosophy and orthodontic practice management both inside and outside of Europe for 15 years. He also offers micro-seminars in his office on self-ligating brackets, indirect bonding, computer related 3D technology, and modern practice management. Since 2003, he has been a speaker at 30 orthodontic congresses. He has first-class knowledge and extensive experiences with pre-adjusted appliance systems (Andrews, Roth, MBT, Roncone). He has worked with active self-ligating bracket systems since 2003, finishing over 5000 cases with this system. Dr. Sampermans is a guest lecturer at the post-graduate program at the University of Regensburg, Germany and lecturer at the ZAFI-Institut in Vienna.
