British Columbia
The British Columbia Society of
Orthodontists (BCSO) is kicking off
2023 with two engaging meetings
and continuing education events. In
February, University of British Columbia (UBC) PhD
graduate and 2022 Milo Hellman award winner, Dr.
Mona Hamoda, presented her research on novel
combination management of obstructive sleep apnea.
Then, in May, we will be hosting an in-person
dinner event in Vancouver, where Dr. Mo Razavi will
be speaking to the membership on his experience
with LightForce Orthodontics and digital technologies.
We also had the opportunity to attend the
Pacific Dental Conference and Tradeshow on March
9 to 11 in Vancouver. This is one of Canada's premier
dental conferences and is well attended by dentists,
specialists, and team members.
BCSO continues to develop our new website, which
promotes its members in a user-friendly orthodontist
locator search and membership directory as
well as provides useful information to the public
regarding orthodontic treatment and benefits of
specialist care.
The BCSO was deeply saddened by the passing of
long-term member Dr. David Kennedy on September
9, 2022. Dr. Kennedy was a much-beloved member
of the BCSO, ran a very successful private practice,
was a prolific publisher of high-level orthodontic
research. He was also the clinic chair and co-founder
of the graduate orthodontics program at UBC. Dr.
Kennedy will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
In addition, Canada has now implemented the
Canada Dental Benefit, a new public measure to
decrease dental costs for lower income families
with children younger than 12 years who do not
have access to private dental insurance. We are still
awaiting clarification on whether this will apply to
orthodontic treatment.
As of September 2022, British Columbia has amalgamated
all of its regulated dental professions
into the British Columbia College of Oral Health
Professionals (BCCOHP). This includes the College
of Dental Hygienists, College of Dental Surgeons,
College of Dental Technicians, and College of Denturists.
The BCCOHP is led by Registrar and CEO Dr.
Chris Hacker and an appointed Board consisting
of six public members and six oral health professionals.

Alison Stefanuto

California
The California Association of Orthodontists
(CAO) hosted a Lobby
Day event in Sacramento on March
9, 2023. Fifteen CAO members
visited legislators to build relationships and raise
awareness of member concerns, focusing on
newly elected representatives and members of the
Business & Professions Committee in the Assembly
and Senate. Discussions included patient safety
concerns related to mail-order aligners as well as
AB 481, a workforce bill CAO helped shape with the
state dental association that is designed to open
licensure pathways and expand scope of practice
for orthodontic assistants.
A half-day seminar was held in Sacramento on
March 10, 2023, featuring author, international
speaker, and oral and maxillofacial radiology expert,
Dr. Dania Tamimi. Her presentation, " The Mystery
of the Changing Bite, " provided a comprehensive
radiographic look at cone-beam computed tomography,
temporomandibular joints occlusion and
airway, and the relationship between them.
CAO is providing a five-part webinar series throughout
2023 on a variety of practice management
