Office Visit
would be the end of the referrals, but it
was the opposite. The pediatric dentist
said he had seen a lot worse, and the
local orthodontists had never mentioned
re-treatment. He was so happy that I was
so conscientious, and he became a very
strong, long-time referrer.
What has it meant to teach
your daughter as one of your
residents at USC?
It has been so incredibly fun! Because
the residency classes are small-she has five
co-residents-they get to know each other
very well, and they create a lifelong bond.
And because I'm one of their teachers, I
get to know her co-residents/friends on a
completely different level! And it is so fun
talking about cases and different treatment
modalities with her.
It also gives her a chance to see my
treatment mechanics in action, so that when
she transitions into my office, she'll already
have a very good idea of how I do things.
The one bad thing is that she is somewhat
forced to listen to some of my bad jokes. ...
Hopefully, she's not too embarrassed!
With the emergence
of automated technology
in orthodontics, how
important are the traditional
fundamentals in residency
training?
The fundamentals and principles will
always be extremely important.
Dr. Dougherty stressed a very solid
Edgewise appliance education. We were
trained in both 0.018 and 0.022 standard
and preadjusted appliances: He used to say
that once you finished residency and were
out in practice, he wouldn't be able to control
what you used. So you could try any gadget
you wanted, but if you got into trouble, you
would always know how to get out of trouble.
I do think that some emerging technologies
will help orthodontists to get closer
to an ideal occlusion, but I also believe that
there will be a large number of cases (if not
all) that need some tip or torque or in/out
bends to get closer to perfection.
Also, I should add that a somewhat
common problem that I see when I see second
opinions isn't necessarily the biomechanics
but is often a misdiagnosis. What I try
to impress on our residents is taking the
time to evaluate the records so an accurate
diagnosis can be made. If you don't diagnose
the problem properly, you can't expect to
treat it properly.
