Update 2015: Mixed Dentition
Learn the Bread & Butter of Mixed Dentition Cases
For many dentists, mixed dentition treatment is overwhelming and intimidating and many believe it is not even profitable. We have put this seminar together to make doctors comfortable treating these kinds of cases. Understanding what to look for, when to start and what to do is vital for a successful phase 1 mixed dentition treatment. We will present you a multidimensional approach to success.
This seminar is presented as Progressive Orthodontics’ annual Update Seminar for 2015. The Update Seminar is designed to provide the Progressive Family new topics, cases, or philosophies to add to their current knowledge.
