Office Visit Orthodontists spend most of their working hours inside their own practices, so they usually don't get many opportunities to see what it's like inside another doctor's office. Orthotown's recurring Office Visit profile offers a chance for Townies to meet their peers, hear their stories and get a sense of how they practice. Dr. Robert 'Tito' Norris by Arselia Gales, assistant editor Dr. Robert " Tito " Norris says he sees the world not as it is, but as he'd like it to be. This mindset led the orthodontist to think outside the box and develop the Norris 20/26 Bracket System. Norris is a seasoned orthodontist who served as the chief of orthodontics at Misawa Air Base in Japan for three years before returning to the U.S. to open his own practice. A former lecturer with 3M's Bottom Line series, he enjoys sharing his decades of experience with patients and orthodontists alike. In this month's Office Visit, we visit his LEED-certified office in San Antonio and learn what makes this engineer-turned-orthodontist tick. Norris also shares the thought process behind the Norris 20/26 system, starting from its humble beginnings 20 years ago to its development and production with Dynaflex.
