FORMAT
One day a month a speaker discusses a dental topic during lunch. The sessions are informal and the group has an opportunity to interact with the speaker during the short discussion period at the end of the lecture. It requires only about one and one-half hour of your time to learn the latest developments in many areas of dentistry. It also offers the opportunity to become better
acquainted with your colleagues and their staff since all dental allied personnel and technicians are also invited to attend.

Overview
Orthodontics is playing a larger role in comprehensive treatment of our patient population. As the scope of orthodontics changes, what new techniques are being implemented? The techniques have changed, but the basics remain. This program will review what is current in the orthodontic world. What is hype and what is fact. How do the current treatment options change the way we look at cases? Treatment timing and explanation of realistic time frames will be discussed.
