Update 2017: Treatment Mapping
Bringing Order to the Chaos
What is treatment mapping? Treatment mapping is the process of breaking down a case into its components, placing these components into the proper order and presenting the map to the patient of their best treatment over the foreseeable future.
The Update Seminar 2017 will help you turn a chaotic case experience into a stress-free, orderly one. With this year’s new interactive format, you will not only learn from a tenured instructor, but from top, experienced clinicians with a range of backgrounds. You will gain a level of clinical experience that normally takes decades to hone.
For the first time in POS Update history, we are providing you with 3 case records before the seminar. We invite you to review these patients’ records and work up the cases to the best of your ability. Get the records here.

This seminar is presented as Progressive Orthodontics’ annual Update Seminar for 2017. 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.
