Orthodontists were relatively cognizant about the airway for a long time, however with the increasing availability and use of 3D imaging this awareness has evolved into having a direct impact on diagnosis and treatment planning. This webinar will review the norms for various malocclusions along with the effects of various surgical movements through orthognathic surgery as well as orthodontic treatment involving extractions.
After this lecture you will be able to:
1.) Discuss methods for evaluating the airway.
2.) Identify and recognize normal values for airway dimensions.
3.) Evaluate current literature on orthodontics and airway.
4.) Discuss new knowledge with emphasis on surgical movements and extractions.

One Clinician's Journey with 3D Imaging and 3D Printing Over the Past Decade
Dr. Lin will review his experiences, guidelines, and protocols with both cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D printing. He believes that the orthodontic profession is transitioning into 3D digital treatment for our patients as the standard of care. Both CBCT and 3D printing are major technology differentiators in making this transition happen and, most importantly, are improving the quality of care which orthodontists are able to provide to their patients.

Internet Marketing 2017: What's Working, What's Not
Social media have been around for about a decade now. We as orthodontists can hardly attend a meeting or open a journal without being bombarded by companies and consultants preaching that social media is the key to attracting new patients. What is the current status of social media marketing for orthodontists? Are there other online marketing techniques that offer a bigger ROI? Where should your practice get started?
Learning Objectives:
Building an Elite Office Through Facebook Marketing
Facebook is a powerful tool that can help you connect with current and prospective patients. Unfortunately, orthodontists are encouraged to delegate social media responsibilities to staff and third party businesses. The problem is that this prevents the ever-so-important doctor-patient ‘conversation’ from happening. Simply put, everything you have been taught about Facebook marketing is wrong! This lecture will focus on utilizing Facebook to build an elite dental office. Discover how to market to masses by targeting local forums. Master Facebook and become a legend in your community.

Virtual Orthognathic Surgery Planning
Processing strategies are different among the software programs, for segmentation, integration of the STL dental model and bone reposition. Modern 3D virtual planning for orthognathic surgery has critical advantages compared to conventional planning but also some disadvantages. The main advantage of the virtual simulation is the option to “play around” and easily test the effects of various possible skeletal corrections. Once the osteotomies are defined the software allows for quickly calculating different lengths or angulations of skeletal displacements. However, new problems arise in a virtual world such as the accuracy of the integration of the STL dental model into the CBCT model, or the true virtual bite, or setting the final occlusion virtually. By working virtually, haptic feedback is lacking. It is therefore better to combine the best of both worlds, virtually and manually. Virtual planning and simulation facilitates the appraisal of any number of options, testing the effects of different surgical movements and obtaining instant net measurements after every movement. In this way, an individual treatment plan can be adapted and optimized easily. The potential for faster, cheaper and better outcomes thought this emerging technology represents a paradigm shift in surgical planning for patient with dentomaxillofacial deformities.

Surgery-First Orthodontic Management, Planning and Execution
Since the time of Hugo Obwegeser, who is considered the father of Orthognathic surgery, we have come a long way in terms of managing patients who require Ortho-orthognathic surgery. It is common refrain amongst orthodontist when they do a consult for a patient for combined Ortho-orthognathic management that the patient will look worse first before he or she looks better. There is also a long process of treatment spanning on average 2.5 to 3 years when conventional ortho-orthognathic methods are employed. With surgery first approach becoming the treatment of choice with many orthodontist and surgeons around the world, it is good to take stock of where we are in managing such cases with both the methods. In this lecture, I would like to present my perspective on Surgery First approach with reference to conventional orthodontic-orthognathic approach.
