office visit
up in Sacramento, the NBA is the only
professional game in town, and you grow up
a huge basketball fan. Fantasy basketball lets
busy, old basketball friends stay in touch.
What's something you'd like to
see orthodontics do differently,
as a profession, within the next
10-15 years?
Orthodontists are amazing! Count me in
the "colleagues, not competitors" camp. We
need to support and back each other up in
providing the best orthodontic care possible.
The two slippery slopes of orthodontics
are elitism and quality of care. The two
36
ideas are so intertwined because the better
care we provide, the more we feel entitled
to get what we deserve. On the other hand,
when we offer convenience and affordability,
we may feel inclined to cut corners on the
clinical side by justifying that patients
are "getting what they paid for." The best
orthodontists are ones who eschew elitism,
obviously, charging a fair fee and running a
profitable business while offering the very
best orthodontic care they can. We are
doing that, and I hope we continue to do it.
Technology, of course, will continue to
improve and it will likely increase our quality
of life and quality of care. If I had to look into

the crystal ball of orthodontic technology,
apart from ubiquitous 3D printing, we'll
likely get to a point with imaging that quality
and dosage can balance, and 3D imaging
becomes the standard of care.
I don't know how far down the road
that is, but it might be realistic for the next
generation of orthodontists to be trained in
planning not only aesthetic crown placement
but also healthy root placement in the
alveolus based on enhanced imaging. The
software is basically already there, and now
we just need the capturing to improve in
order to justify the radiation. It could be
really exciting! n
