Adult Treatment: A Clinical Conference for Orthodontists and Restorative Dentists

Presentation
The team aspect of the event is just the beginning, as there will be a comprehensive set of presentations from recognized clinical experts, covering topics ranging from new treatments in adult esthetics to sleep apnea to breakthrough orthodontic and restorative materials as well as computer assisted diagnostics and treatment.

You will hear perspectives about the clinical and medico-legal risks inherent in adult treatment, and an update on the most current considerations in the management of TMD. Methodologies to change the speed and quality of treatment through changes in patient physiology will be discussed with focus on both accelerated
osteogenic orthodontics and vibratory stimulation of tooth movement.

This will undoubtedly prove to be a cutting edge practical program designed to be shared with our restorative dental colleagues. As we see increasing numbers of adults requesting orthodontic treatment, the information is timely and immediately applicable for your practice.

Given all that we have planned at this exciting venue, we truly hope to see you and your dentist colleagues in Las Vegas, February, 2014. Plan for it now!
