Dr. Richard Conlin taught me orthodontics and now he will be in New York as our guest speaker and he will be sharing with us his thoughts on how to "put it all together"! He is going to show you and tell you how he thinks about his cases and how to think through them.For those who don't know him, he was one of the handful few, who made it their business to bring orthodontics to general dentists. He maintained an active orthodontic practice in Pittsburghand started teaching "Orthodontics in Your Practice" to GP's. The course later evolved into Light Force America and at one time he held course in Pittsburgh, New York and Palm Beach. He has retired for the past 2 years and has moved to Florida however, he continues to teach his course in Palm Beach. He is also maintaining tradition of having a Spring Refresher in Pittsburgh. I was his co-instructor before he retired and I took over the course in New York. In New York alone, Orthodontic Course is making it's 20th year. 

LDOM: Light Differential Orthodontic Mechanics has evolved over years and has changed with time by accommodating different looks such as Begg, Tip-Edge, Coralex and Tip-Edge Plus and also with invention of different materials such as ultra flexible archwires (NiTi), crimpable hooks, composite brackets etc. Several clinicians such as Dr. Begg, Dr. Harold Kesling, Dr. Peter Kesling, Dr. Harry Green and Dr. Richard Conlin were instrumental in changing it's stages and actual mechanics. I am trying to make a difference by making diagnostics an integral part of working mechanics via digital cephalometry and space analysis.

I think, it is good to hear what someone else has to say and we heard Dr. Karandikar last year and this year we have Dr. Richard Conlin. He is no other but literally a pioneer in Light Forces that stuck around for so many years to make a difference for us GP's. And he has a wealth of information to share.

So please register early. Besides Study Group members, I want all 1st year and 2nd year Clinical Orthodotnic participants to attend this extra session.

Registration deadline: June 1st, 2010
