CE: Rescue the Compromised Dentition using Rehabilitative Orthodontics

Rescue the Compromised Dentition using Rehabilitative Orthodontics

Program Description

The adult patient presents to the dental office with a dental history. This history will necessitate a different set of orthodontic objectives than the adolescent patient. The adult patient deserves the “Best Possible Outcome” dentistry can deliver and this will usually involve positioning the teeth in their optimal location. Dr. Schmidt will share with you the concept “Rescue the Compromised Dentition using Rehabilitative Orthodontics” and how the Invisalign System is used to achieve those objectives.

I have known Dr. Richard Schmidt for many years, he is one of the most passionate and innovative students I have worked with. Richard’s goals to maintain teeth, and utilize aligner therapy to aid in the process, are something every dentist should consider. His presentation will show you things that will open your eyes to the possibilities that aligners and creativity can provide in maintaining teeth.
