Overview

This interactive course will give general dentists and specialists the opportunity to diagnose and treatment plan common orthodontic problems in children and adults.

The use of the Invisalign appliance will be discussed thoroughly. Comprehensive treatment plans for patients in need of implants and fixed restorations will be discussed.  The role of orthodontics in developing predictable and esthetic results will be highlighted. The instructor will provide pictures (intraoral and facial), study models, radiographs as well as treatment goals. The participants will team up to develop a treatment plan.

Testimonials

“Dr. Miller did a great job teaching occlusion and the interplay of ortho with restorative/perio/endo treatment. His invisalign overview and case presentation was excellent. I also enjoyed working in groups on trying to create our own treatment plans for the cases Dr. Miller presented.” -Participant, December 2022

“Dr. Miller has created a great idea with this course. I’ve attended this same course multiple times, and every time whereas there may be similar case presentations, every time the course is different. Starting my 40th year as a dentist, this is my favorite course ever. Plus, the BU Dental School has been so nicely renovated in the recent years, it’s a great place to attend a course.” – Robert Maxfield, December, 2023

“I appreciate Dr. Miller’s dedication to our profession and to passing his wisdom and knowledge on to the rest of us. I really enjoyed some of his quotes and philosophy.” – Participant, December 2023
