Dr. Jeffrey C. Miller DDS

Dr. Miller graduated Summa Cum Laude from Towson University in 1978 and received his dental education from the University of Maryland (1982). After graduating from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, he received his Orthodontic Certificate from SUNY at Buffalo (1984). In 1991, Dr. Miller successfully completed the requirements to become Board Certified in Orthodontics. He has practiced orthodontics in a private practice setting for over thirty five years and is a Regent for the American Association of Orthodontist Foundation. Approximately fifteen years ago, Dr. Miller became very interested in Cone Beam Computed Tomography. For the past ten years he has been at the fore front of connecting orthodontists with the technology. To quote Dr. Miller, “CBCT only makes sense if it offers diagnostic benefits over 2D imaging”. Dr. Miller has developed a method that utilizes CBCT to measure changes in bone root coverage during orthodontic treatment. He has contributed to several articles utilizing CBCT as a diagnostic tool for orthodontist. Currently Dr. Miller has developed a series of lectures titled, “Alveolar Focused Orthodontics” (AFO). AFO attempts to direct our attention to the underlying alveolar housing bone anatomy as a consideration when developing a treatment strategy for orthodontic patients and evaluating our post treatment results. Alveolar Focused Orthodontics argues that the underlying bone anatomy should be a significant consideration for anyone moving teeth orthodontically. It reveals many of the inadequacies associated with 2D imaging (cephalometrics).
