Neuro-Muscular Orthodontics

Neuro-Muscular Orthodontics
The role of disharmonious muscle function in various malocclusions and effective correction options

Date: November 20–21, 2026 (Friday–Saturday)
Location: Mercure Budapest Castle Hill
(1013 Budapest, Krisztina krt. 41-43.)

Előadók:

• Dr. Romain de Papé
   

What is ONM?

• The method is based on the adaptability of development and neuromuscular connections, using a multidisciplinary approach.

What will be discussed?

• We will discuss diagnosis and gain an understanding of the role of muscle function during development. This provides a key to managing difficult cases, ensuring that prevention is truly effective.

How can it help?

• It helps in understanding and effectively treating the causes of significant basal deviations and asymmetries in adolescence. It creates opportunities to correct jawbone abnormalities in adult patients, thereby making surgery less frequently necessary. A comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach that views the patient as a whole and draws on the expertise of related discipline.
   

Two-Day Topics:

• Introduction to ONM
• The foundations of ONM for understanding the etiology of malocclusions
• The multidisciplinary approach

The foundations of ONM

• The physiological basis of mastication
• Radiological and clinical measurements in ONM
• Understanding the occlusal plane in static and dynamic positions
• The importance of facial types in terms of orofacial functions and clinical tools

About the speaker: 

DR. ROMAIN DE PAPÉ

Dr. Romain de Papé – A New Dimension of the Functional Approach in Modern Orthodontics

• Qualified Specialist in Dentofacial Orthopedics
• Assistant Professor, University Hospital of Strasbourg
• Member of the National and Eastern Regional Board of the Bioprogressive Ricketts Society (SBR)
• Member of the Scientific Council of the French Federation of Orthodontists (FFO)
• Manager of ONM Conseils
• Founder of the ONM Masterclass (Neuromuscular Orthodontics)
• President of CEPROF (Multidisciplinary Study Circle for Orofacial Rehabilitation)

Dr. Romain de Papé is a leading European figure in modern, function-oriented orthodontics and the founder and principal instructor of the Orthodontie Neuro-Musculaire (ONM) approach. Building on more than 15 years of clinical experience and multidisciplinary collaborations, he has developed a treatment philosophy that restores orthodontics to its true medical context: the restoration of function and balance.

During his career, he earned a specialty certification in dentofacial orthopedics (Paris 7) and subsequently expanded his university clinical experience in Strasbourg. His scientific and professional work is recognized by several prestigious organizations: he is a member of French and international professional bodies and a recipient of the Pierre Fauchard Academy award.

CEPROF (Cercle d’Études Pluridisciplinaires pour la Réhabilitation Oro-Faciale), which he founded, provides a unique professional platform for orthodontists, speech therapists, physical therapists, and maxillofacial specialists, where diagnosis and therapy are carried out through a truly interdisciplinary approach.

Dr. de Papé is credited with developing the ONM protocol, which is based on the integration of neuromuscular regulation, biomechanics, and functional occlusion. His approach focuses not only on aesthetic correction but also on the rehabilitation of the entire stomatognathic system, with particular attention to preserving periodontal and tissue integrity.

The Masterclass ONM® training system he created has already transformed the clinical approach of hundreds of orthodontists across Europe. The training provides comprehensive, immediately applicable knowledge, ranging from a rethinking of diagnostics to digital and hybrid treatment strategies.

Why should you attend his lecture?

Because Dr. de Papé doesn’t just teach technique—he imparts a mindset capable of rethinking treatment decisions and leading to more predictable, functionally stable results in the long term.
