About the yearly Update Seminars
This seminar is presented as Progressive Orthodontics’ annual Update Seminar for 2018. The Update Seminar is designed to provide the Progressive Family new topics, cases, or philosophies to add to their current knowledge. Doctors who have not attended previous Progressive Orthodontic seminars may still enroll. However, please note that a few concepts may build on top of training from the Comprehensive Orthodontic series. Although some prior knowledge of orthodontic principles will maximize what you take from this class, there is no prerequisite and even doctors with no orthodontic experience should enjoy this topic.
