Ormco Appoints Matt Turner as Company President
Ormco, provider of orthodontic technology and services, has appointed Matt
Turner as the company's new president. Turner most recently served as the vice
president, sales and commercial, for General Electric's oil and gas surface division
after spending nearly 10 years in its power and water division.
Before GE, Turner consulted with McKinsey & Co., and attained the rank of
captain in the U.S. Air Force. He holds mechanical engineering and political science
degrees from MIT and earned his MBA from the Harvard Business School. Throughout
his 20 years of professional experience, Ormco says, Turner has demonstrated an
aptitude for driving organic business growth through execution rigor, increasing
profitability as an operational profit-and-loss leader, developing go-to-market
strategies and building high-performing, customer-focused global teams.
Ormco's outgoing president, Patrik Eriksson, has been instrumental in
overseeing Turner's transition. Under Eriksson's leadership and four-year tenure as
president, he has created sustainable business growth for the company.

3M and 3Shape Partner
to Advance Digital Workflows
for Orthodontics
3M and 3Shape are working together
to advance the field of orthodontics
through digital workflows supporting
indirect bonding, clear aligners and other
emerging technologies.
Jim Ingebrand, president and general
manager of 3M's oral care division, says
the companies want to make it easier for
orthodontists to engage patients, provide
effective treatments and run profitable
practices. The workflow will include 3M's
indirect bonding solutions, customized
lingual offering and future offerings in
digital orthodontics.
For 3M's and 3Shape's joint
customers, the cooperation will use the
3Shape Trios scanner and indirect bonding
software with 3M's Incognito lingual
appliance system and the Clarity Advanced
brackets with APC Flash Free technology
for indirect bonding procedures. These
combined solutions will enable better
outcomes while improving productivity
of the practice.

Dr. Richard McLaughlin Updates Two-Year Program
Dr. Richard McLaughlin, the founder of the Two-Year McLaughlin Program, recently announced that he will offer attendees
the option to take each of the six courses individually or consecutively. The courses are all held at McLaughlin's office and
training facility in San Diego.
McLaughlin spent years collecting material and presenting seven major two- or three-day courses. The Two-Year Program
debuted in 2006, when McLaughlin decided to combine the courses into one comprehensive course. More than 200 orthodontists
have graduated from the two-year program since its inception.
The postgraduate orthodontic program will still be offered as a full two-year program; however, attendees will now have
the option to take individual modules. Some benefits of taking the full curriculum as a complete program include the study club
camaraderie among classmates and the opportunity to fully immerse in the philosophy under McLaughlin's mentorship. This
new option allows doctors to take refresher courses on specific topics they are interested in without having to commit to the full
two-year program. Additionally, it allows flexibility for doctors to take the courses at their own pace if needed for busy schedules.
