What I have learned.

Bonnie-Lynne and I attended the Damon Forum in Scottsdale, Arizona. This was a very beneficial continuing education course where we learned many new techniques that we were able to apply to our practice. One of the lectures that we attended was titled "Torque Selection". This class was basically designed to enable us to have more tools in treatment planning for our patients. Orthodontic brackets have different "torques" in the slots of the brackets that can be used in specific patients depending on their initial malocclusion. These torque selections can be treatment planned before initial bracket placement that will decrease the overall treatment time that a patient is in braces. The Damon Forum began about 5 years ago with around 50 orthodontists and staff members and is an annual meeting that has gained widespread popularity. This year the forum had over 3000 orthodontists and staff members in attendance and next year is expected to have over 5000 in attendance. We are pleased to offer the latest treatment techniques here at Wilson Orthodontics for our patients. I highly recommend the Damon Forum for anyone orthodontist who is looking to advance their treatment efficiency and treatment results for their patients.
