Class II correction is not only about achieving a Class I dental relationship. It is about determining where the dentition needs to be positioned to achieve optimal facial esthetics. The orthodontic staff plays an important role in helping their patients achieve this goal. A successful outcome includes not only the clinical treatment but patient motivation and compliance as well.

This program, sponsored by the AAO Insurance Company (RRG), will discuss the development of malpractice claims from the activity performed by the orthodontic staff. From communication, to patient records, to performing clinical procedures, staff is involved with patients and treatment. Staff can cause and/or prevent malpractice claims against the orthodontist. Attend this program to learn about current claims and how to prevent them. Elizabeth Franklin, claims manager, and Jessica Kaesberg, claims representative for AAOIC will summarize real malpractice claims that have been impacted by orthodontic staff. They will discuss staff behavior and practice activity that can minimize or preclude the development of a claim. There will be a Q&A session to discuss questions about the program material or any office problems.
Learning Objectives:
Orthodontic technology continues to evolve to offer patients ever more esthetic options for completing their orthodontic treatment. Many providers may come to feel like we are caught in an "arms race" with our patients' esthetic demands escalating with every new technology that we offer to keep their treatment hidden from the world. These treatment modalities share some important similarities, and this patient population is unique. I will review some of the mechanical challenges of lingual orthodontics and some of the patient psychology that can make lingual orthodontics particularly challenging for providers.

For the first time in history, we have four generations working side-by-side in business. At work, generational differences can affect everything, including recruiting, building teams, dealing with change and motivation. There is a high likelihood that these differences will increase misunderstandings, turnover, commitment and enthusiasm in the workplace. We need to understand how the different generations act and "react" in order to be a high performing team!
