Description:

Optimal treatment plans can quintessentially be viewed as the exact opposite of an accurate diagnosis. This presentation will address fundamental concepts that are essential for both successful orthodontic-only and surgical-orthodontic outcomes.

Attendees will discover treatment planning from the “inside out” and how this story begins with the Green Tooth!
