Course Description: 
This course displays a technique based on over 25 years of attending and video reviewing orthodontic CE at the local and national levels at approximately 80 credits per year. The lecturer has contracted speakers for the IAO New England for close to 20 years and has made it a point to incorporate elements from many of the presented techniques to develop this treatment philosophy, which has recently gained much publicity with the Dr. John & Mike Mew Article in The New York Times Aug. 20, 2020. The approach is based on over 20 years of photographically documented cases and case follow-ups.
