Fun with braces
Dr. Barry Sears is a leading authority on the
impact of the diet on hormonal response,
genetic expression and inflammation. He
will speak at 8-9:30 a.m. today.
Pick up
some new
techniques
By Sierra Rendon, Ortho Tribune
If you came to Philadelphia to learn
new techniques to bring back to your
orthodontic practice, you have plenty of
educational options to meet your needs.
From the doctor sessions to the staff
seasons to the featured speakers series, if
it’s related to orthodontics, it’s probably
covered!
Today’s sessions include topics such as,
“New Frontiers in the Early Treatment of
Class III Malocclusion,” “Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors: New Procedures and
Indications for Space Closure,” “Incorporating New Technologies and Advances
to Orthognathic Surgery” and “Tips &
Tricks for the Digital Office,” among
much more.
Staff sessions include a range of topics
from orthodontic digital photography,
staff training, risk management, infection prevention, fee collection and more.
Today’s featured speaker series will begin the day at 8 a.m. with a free session
from best-selling author Dr. Barry Sears.
Sears’ presentation, “Why We Gain
Weight, Get Sick and Age Faster,” will explore the changes in the American diet
in the last 40 years that have turned on
ancient inflammatory genes that are
the underlying cause of our obesity and
health-care crisis.

The 3M™ True Definition Scanner, for use in orthodontic practice, is a complete digital
impression system that uses 3-D-in-motion video technology to deliver a true replica of
the oral anatomy with precision and accuracy. The digital process brings improved
productivity, better oral care and ultimately a better patient experience, according to
the company. See the new technology in the 3M Unitek booth, No. 625.
Dentaurum has released its new DISCOVERY PEARL ceramic bracket, which offers the
lowest profile in ceramic brackets and is made with a translucent aluminum oxide
material that takes on the natural shade of the tooth. The bracket is manufactured using
a C.I.M. (ceramic injection molding) process that guarantees strength typically found only
in steel brackets. This helps to avoid bracket fracture during de-bonding and tie-wing
breakage during treatment. Visit Dentaurum at booth No. 1339 to learn more.

An interview with Ortho-T
inventor Earl O. Bergersen
By Ortho-Tain Staff
Here at the AAO
For more information on the Ortho-T Appliance, the
Occlus-o-Guide or the Nite-Guide, call (800) 541-
Here during the AAO, orthodontic appliance inventor Earl O. Bergersen DDS,
MSD, will present seminars at booth
No. 2301 on efficient and cost-effective
techniques for straightening teeth without braces. But first, he sits down to talk
about some of his appliances.
What makes the Ortho-T Appliance for
the adult ortho treatment so unique?
The Ortho-T technique is the superior,
most effective choice of adult orthodontic treatment without braces. Ortho-T’s
unique design allows permanent dentition to be guided into a perfect Class I
occlusion with only one appliance worn
one to two hours per day.
The Ortho-T technique takes one-fifth
the time of fixed treatment. The cost of
the Ortho-T appliance is $59 and takes
approximately one hour of total chair
time.
What benefits does the Ortho-T technique
for adult treatment without braces have
over other adult treatment techniques?
As previously stated, Ortho-T is worn one
to two hours per day; treatment time is
two to 12 months, which is approximately one-third the time of most other procedures. Ortho-T’s cost is one-fourth to
one-half that of fixed treatment.
Ortho-T corrects overbite, overjet,
crowding, spacing and TMJ. It requires
only one appliance, which is worn for
both active treatment as well as retention. If relapse occurs 10 years later, the

Ortho-Tain booth, No. 2301.

same appliance can be re-used.
In addition, no interruptions or changing of appliance is needed if dental work
is done during treatment. Any type of
treatment — bridgework, extractions,
implants — none of these affect the fit
of the appliance.
How difficult is it for an orthodontist to
understand and implement the Ortho-T
technique?
Attending a one-day course or viewing
our seminar on DVD will provide the
necessary knowledge. Ortho-T is the easiest appliance to use on the market.
How many patients have been treated
with the Ortho-T?
More than 3 million.
Is it true that Ortho-Tain also has an orthodontic treatment procedure for teenagers and young children?
Occlus-o-Guide is for 8- to 12-year-olds
with overbite, overjet and crowding, all
of which can be corrected with only two
hours of daytime wear for a period of
two to 10 months. Only one appliance is
required for treatment. Occlus-o-Guide
can be used for almost all malocclusions
from ages 8-12.
Nite-Guide is used during the eruption of the upper and lower incisors and
G15 takes
the work
out of focus,
lighting
The PhotoMed G15 Digital Dental Camera is specifically designed to allow you
to take all the standard clinical views
with frame-and-focus simplicity.
The built-in color monitor allows you
to precisely frame your subject, then focus and shoot.
By using the camera’s built-in flash,
the amount of light necessary for a
proper exposure is almost guaranteed.
PhotoMed’s custom closeup lighting attachment redirects the light from the
camera’s flash to create a balanced, even
lighting across the field.
is worn passively only while sleeping.
Nite-Guide expands the arch up to 4 mm
and can correct up to 7 mm of potential
crowding, any overbite and overjet, open
bite and pseudo Class III. Nite-Guide is
an effective and easy Phase I technique.
Does the Occlus-o-Guide and Nite-Guide
work similarly to the Ortho-T for adult?
Almost the same way, except there is
more room for crowding at the ages of 5
to 12 because of larger posterior deciduous teeth.
Is the Nite-Guide the only early treatment
device on the market that can straighten
the incoming adult dentition with only
nighttime wear?
Yes. The Nite-Guide allows the teeth to
erupt straight. The fiber bundles develop
in that position, so there is minimal or
no relapse, according to research to date.
Research also shows that children
who wear the Nite-Guide for one hour of
sleeping time will receive the same results in most cases as a full night’s wear.
Research also shows 93 percent of all 5to 7-year-olds are candidates. One practitioner can treat hundreds of patients
each year.
What type of education will orthodontists receive if they stop by booth No. 2301
during the AAO?
Academics of early treatment and orthodontics for adults, overview of all
techniques, how to get started, how to
measure, what to charge, how to code for
insurance and a free diagnosis of cases
brought to booth.

When you’re walking through the exhibit hall, don’t pass up the many generous samples and freebies offered to you. It’s a great chance to try
new toothpaste, prophy paste and floss. Pick up some water to keep you hydrated and cotton candy for a quick sugar fix. Bring home a golf ball
to your golfing buddy and an ‘I rock’ pin for your significant other. And finally, don’t forget all those colorful tote bags that will help you ‘go

clinics and much more to fulfill attendees’ educational needs.
To spice things up, there are social activities each day, including today’s Fun
Run & Walk (6:30–8:30 a.m.) and the
AAO Foundation Breakfast (7–8:30 a.m.),
which will give honor to key volunteers
for their work within the AAOF.
For orthodontists or team members
who came looking to stock up on supplies or to look for fun new products to
bring home to the office, the exhibit hall
is brimming with new technology and
other treats.
The AAO is a great place to find the
latest and greatest to bring back to your
community and patients.
Here is a sampling of the unique products you can purchase or the free samples and fun treats waiting for you in the
exhibit hall:
• BracketEars are a fun way to match
your braces to your earrings. BracketEars
are little earrings shaped like a bracket
and with multi-colored elastic packs,
so you can match them to the color in
your mouth! This brand new accessory
is available on Amazon.com, but stop by
the booth (No. 1554) to hear about the
show specials that can save you some
money.
• To spice up your day, stop by the
circus-like OrthoBanc booth (No. 1637)
where people are “getting silly in Philly”!
Munch on some complimentary snocones and cotton candy and let OrthoBanc tell you how it can simplify your
account management.
• Want to help your patients floss more
often? Let them try flossFish! flossFish
uses regular dental floss and goes under
the wire and between the brackets so users can floss with braces without the fuss
of using floss threaders. Stop by the company’s booth (No. 851) to watch a demonstration and pick up a sample.
• If you have a few patients playing
on sports teams, you’ll want to stop by
the TotalGard booth (No. 1849) to check
out its new swirl-colored mouthguards.
TotalGard offers sports mouthguards,
Class II activating appliance mouthguards and StressGard II, a comfortable,
easy-fit night guard for TMJ pain, teeth
clenching and grinding.
• To say goodbye to dry skin, stop by
booth No. 1952 to try out Hawaiian Moon
Aloe, which is paraben free and made
with 100 percent organic aloe. Customers who have tried Hawaiian Moon Aloe
reported improvement in age spots,
blisters, chapped skin, chemical burns
or peels, dermabrasion, eczema, itching, psoriasis, rashes, rosacea and much
more.
• Orthodontists who have been considering clear aligners may want to stop
by the ClearCorrect booth (No. 2748) to
hear more about its options. Dr. Willis
Pumphrey, founder of ClearCorrect, says
he introduced ClearCorrect to keep clear
aligner therapy simply, friendly and
affordable, and he says you’ll save about
40 percent by using his company’s product.
• Another fun way to help your patients
show off their style is with Braced-lets at
booth No. 2640. These colorful bracelets — made with actual braces — were
created and designed by orthodontists
Dr. Marc Lemchen and Dr. Jennifer Salzer,
