ORTHOPLUSSEMINARS MISSION STATEMENT: "To provide orthodontic knowledge to all general and pediatric dentists, making it a realistic and integral component of their practice".

MY PERSONAL GOAL is to prepare you to successfully diagnose and treat malocclusions in patients and acquire competence in treating them orthodontically.

At the completion of the MISSING PIECE (level I) beginning orthodontic course, you should be proficient in basic orthodontics. You should be proficient in treating 70%+ of your patients who desire orthodontics.

At the completion of the NEXT STEPS (level II) orthodontic course, your skill levels in orthodontic care should increase to be able to treat 80-90% of all orthodontic cases. But this is by no means a complete education in orthodontics. You must continue you orthodontic learning process with more education.

The PREMIERE COMPREHENSIVE will allow you to understand how the practice of orthodontics actually functions in a general/pediatric office by taking you from the hotel environment to the clinical. The real patient experience is an immeasurable value to your life and practice.

The HANDS-ON orthodontic sessions have been particularly designed to coincide with a predictable straight wire orthodontic treatment modality. A portion of the all courses will pertain to ORTHODONTIC MARKETING information as well as PRACTICE MANAGEMENT tools regarding orthodontics.

Please look around our site. My wish is that you find the same excitement and joy in adding orthodontics to your practice that I have.

Sincerely,

David W. Jackson, DDS, FAGD, IBO
