Orthotown December 2020 - 8
embrace progress
2020 and the 4th Dimension
by Dan Grob, DDS, MS, editorial director, Orthotown magazine
As we close out 2020, I thought it would
be beneficial to highlight some of the issues
that I've mentioned in my previous columns.
I am thankful for those who email me or
comment on the message boards and enjoy
the discussions! At Orthotown, we try to
stimulate discourse on trending topics based
on sound orthodontic principles established
throughout the years.
Schools
My thoughts on the role of schools
and advanced education in the new age of
COVID-19, high tuition and lockdowns
garnered many comments online.
If we are to remain a profession, there
needs to be a role for higher education,
8
with peer-reviewed research, publications
and continuing education. Technology
and information have been changing and
advancing so fast, though, that some legacy
training programs are struggling to keep
up or educate their residents and interns.
There needs to be a private industry-an
educational program partnership-to make
sure that new specialists are truly fluent in
the latest technology, treatment techniques
and the associated research that accompanies
such advances. The AAO has felt attendance
being hampered by corporate and private
meetings changing the norms. While these
narrowly focused meetings are welcome,
they do tend to draw visitors away from
the big national conferences.
Cosmetic
How do I deal with my general dentist
regarding non-extraction treatment? That
summarizes a post that I came across on
one of our online message boards.
Cosmetic orthodontics is in the news
and we must be prepared to address the
challenge. While orthodontic care has been
in the cosmetic arena for some time, the
new emphasis on " smile design " brought on
by the advancements in cosmetic dentistry
has orthodontists working to perfect their
treatment plans to meet the demands of
all patients.
One only needs to surf Instagram and
cosmetic dentists' websites to see what
patients are looking for: great big smiles
