The options for orthodontic treatment before and after Secondary Alveolar Bone Grafting will be reviewed. Aspects of treatment that require a surgical vs. orthodontic correct will be highlighted. Risks and benefits of timing of early secondary ABG on the dentoalveolar development and future orthodontic treatment will be present.
To optimize the periodontal status of all cleft-adjacent permanent teeth, some cleft centers perform early secondary alveolar bone grafting around 6 years of age, prior to the eruption of the cleft-adjacent maxillary central incisor. Certain authors have raised the concern that performing an early secondary bone graft could potentially compromise maxillary growth, similarly to primary alveolar bone grafting. Due to these concerns, many centers still perform late secondary alveolar bone grating, which is based on the eruption of the cleft-adjacent maxillary canine. The purpose of this presentation will be to discuss the rationale, advantages, disadvantages, evidence and techniques associated with early secondary alveolar bone grafting. The second part of the presentation will discuss recent advances in cleft/craniofacial orthognathic surgery planning.
Discuss amazing techniques done in combination with surgeons to get better results, differentiate ourselves as specialists and be more profitable.
There has been a paradigm shift in the world of weight management. Weight is not a simple math equation of calories in and calories out- rather it is a chemistry problem of dozens of hormones, hundreds of chemical signals and how they talk to the body and brain. Come learn how new evidence is changing how we treat patients living with weight.
This clinical presentation for both doctors and staff is a two-part presentation that will review both canine substitutions and canine impactions. We will review proper bracket selection for canine substitution cases; the steps taken in my office for open-surgical exposures for palatal impactions; appliances with cantilevers for labial impaction; and more. Substituted and impacted canines are a great stress for many orthodontists, but I hope by the end of this presentation that you are equipped with a game plan for treatment success.
From the first point of contact, the New Patient is making decisions at rapid speed.

In November 2018, Align Technology launched a new appliance for Class II treatment called Invisalign® with Mandibular Advancement. This presentation will discuss what this appliance is, how it works and the results of a study conducted at the University of British Columbia comparing short term skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes between patients treated with Twin Block functional appliance and Invisalign® with Mandibular Advancement. Different approaches to treatment including high angle vs low angle Class II skeletal patterns will be discussed. This presentation will be illustrated with cases treated with Invisalign® with Mandibular Advancement. As one of the pioneer testing doctors of this appliance, Dr Sandra Tai has been using this appliance since 2015 with numerous cases that have completed both the advancement phase as well as the second phase of treatment

Whether we are using fixed appliances or clear aligners to achieve the goals of orthodontic treatment, our choice of customized appliances is going to have an effect on our ability to finish accurately and efficiently. Let Dr. Palleck walk you through why Insignia custom braces and Spark clear aligners are her go-to appliances. Designing the details into effective systems and then letting the appliances do the work for you is key to running an efficient and profitable clinic.
The strength of a professional organization is measured by the planned infrastructure, involvement, communication and awareness of the local constituents groups with its central national organization. This is not a preset presentation but an interview of RI coordinated strategy and review of lessons learned. The goal of the interview is to assist in continued development of a framework that will protect our patients, provide and maintain great care at the highest standards of our specialty, inform clinicians of the importance of a strong local, and national organization that will sustain this framework.
Jackie Kennedy is famously quoted as saying that, “Pearls are always appropriate”; the same could be said about sharing orthodontic clinical pearls. Who doesn’t love picking up those invaluable tidbits hidden within a lecture? After all, these clinical pearls are the easiest to take home and immediately implement into our practice. It is a passion of mine to share my clinical ideas with other orthodontists, and what better way than with a lecture entirely devoted to the topic. Be ready for a fun and fast-paced presentation chock full of my favorite clinical pearls.

Online visibility is earned. In most markets orthodontic practices face considerable competition for new patients. Yet, by understanding how search engines function excellent digital visibility is achievable. In this webinar you will learn about: • Google’s search algorithm, and how it decides where to position a website in search results • The patient view of your website vs. how Google views it • Reputation and listing management • Online advertising – the different varieties and what they can do for your practices By incorporating the tips and best practices suggested within this presentation your practice can work towards greater search engine visibility. And what is the likely result of better online visibility? More traffic from prospective patients and, ultimately, an uptick in new patient volume.
Presentation will offer insight on developing a consistent protocol for aligner patients to maximize treatment efficiency and team implementation. We will explore applying this protocol to a series of cases, varying in complexity.
Learn how a successful Invisalign provider maximizes use of the iTero intraoral scanner. This study club will focus on strategies to integrate iTero digital technology into your practice to aid patient education, workflow efficiencies, increasing patient acceptance, and more.
Join Dr. Rooz Khosravi as he shares his insights on treatment planning in the digital world. During the presentation attendees will learn how to setup an orthodontic case in as few as 10 minutes without the back-and-forth with a remote technician. Staging and sequencing movements will be discussed along with strategies on how to utilize this technology to impact several orthodontic procedures in your practice. Upcoming new features from the
New technology provides orthodontists all the benefits of passivity along with precise 3-dimensional control by overcoming the challenges associated with traditional PSL appliances. The science behind the new technology will be discussed along with case presentations that illustrate the diagnosis, treatment planning, mechanics and outcomes of several cases treated with a novel bracket and wire design. Precise first, second and third order control enhances clinical efficiency with the potential to reduce treatment duration. In addition to his own cases, Dr. Barron will discuss the results of a multi-doctor clinical trial employing this new technology.

This session will review the concept of photodynamic inactivation, its clinical effectiveness in orthodontic patient hygiene, and the development of a novel orthodontic hygiene device utilizing this technology.
Treating growing patients with a safe and effective appliance is a passion of mine. In my presentation I will show how the Invisalign appliance can be used effectively to obtain dental alveolar expansion to facilitate room for erupting teeth, correct anterior crossbites with function shifts, and enhance smiles that may cause psycho-social issues in growing children. I will also discuss how my practice uses 'virtual care to support and monitor this patient population.
