Dr. Davide Mirabella

Straight-Wire Technique Course 2026-2027 – 29th Edition

The 29th edition of Davide Mirabella’s Straight-Wire Technique Course is designed for those currently working in orthodontics or those wishing to enter the field. Drawing from the lecturer’s 35 years of clinical experience, the course is structured to clearly and rigorously explain every phase of orthodontic treatment, from diagnosis to finishing. Participants will have the unique opportunity to learn the Straight-Wire technique and observe it in action through the presentation of over 100 fully documented clinical cases.

Annual Course

Five sessions in which diagnostic and clinical concepts related to the treatment of facial disharmonies, malocclusions, and interdisciplinary care will be explored in depth. The program has been further enriched with new topics, enhanced practical sessions, and a revised structure involving Dr. Mirabella’s direct teaching. During the hands-on sessions, participants will gain practical skills under the guidance of expert tutors, practicing essential chairside procedures. Additionally, participants will have the chance to spend two full clinic days at Dr. Mirabella’s office.

This course offers a one-of-a-kind learning experience, as well as the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals to share passions, projects, and ambitions — and why not, also enjoy some social moments together!

I look forward to seeing you in Catania for our first session!
