such as Class II and Class III treatment,
biomechanics, anchorage/TADs and esthetics. Other lecture series will cover
newer and diverse topics, such as 3-D
printing/in-house aligners, finishing,
sleep apnea, retention/lingual orthodontics and impacted canines/missing teeth.
Highlights will include the 2019 Salzmann, Angle and Mershon lectures as
well as one special lecture being held as
a memorium.

FROM THE EDITOR
Orthodontist burnout
By Dennis J. Tartakow, DMD, MEd, EdD,
PhD, Editor in Chief, Ortho Tribune,
U.S. Edition
A
ccording to Boyers (2012), education is the single greatest
catalyst for lasting change on
our society, and the author
suggests committing ourselves, as well
as helping others gain access, to quality
education. It is one of the best ways for
sustained personal and professional success.
However, it is no secret that orthodontists’ job dissatisfaction is soaring
to unprecedented levels as a result of
removable aligner therapy from general dentists guided by laboratories;
now even the patient directs and controls his/her own orthodontic treatment
from over-the-counter marketing companies without any professional supervision. Peck (2018) so adroitly stated: “It
makes a retired orthodontist with a long
memory wonder, when did we go astray
as a learned, university- and hospitalaffiliated, clinical scientific group, and
why? Also, what have we missed along
the way? Why is the orthodontic industry now doing a lot of our thinking? Did
we do it to ourselves or have we been
subtly manipulated into a changed perception?” (p. 672)
The practice environment is becoming
more difficult to provide compassionate, high-quality care for patients (Van
Dyke, 2019). There appears be at least six
symptoms of orthodontists’ burnout: (a)
feelings of contempt, (b) loss of zeal, zest
and enthusiasm for work, (c) increasing
competition, (d) passive pressure from
social media comments, (e) excessive
documentation and (f) general feelings
of malaise.
The doctor-patient relationship becomes more threatened by the insurer

and/or employer-provider relationship.
Contempt is difficult to elude and circumvent as employers change insurers,
insurers change physician groups and
patients are required to change physicians as a result of insurer-employer
renegotiations. This often results in doctors having to accept reduced fees for
services. All this leads to motivation,
which can also contribute to what is
driving clinical burnout in orthodontics.
Norton (2018) noted: “… autonomy,
mastery, and purpose to be drivers of
intrinsic motivation. But we also experience the human factors, friction, and
uncertainty in a highly complex delivery and reimbursement structure. This
reality demands grit and resilience to
sustain the high standards of excellence
and compassion necessary for delivering personalized care.” (p. 3).
Retaining such valued resources as
improved patient care and appreciated,
high-valued staff is also waning.
The realization that these workload
pressures have a direct contribution to
clinical burnout is apparent (Tartakow,
2010). The proliferation of imperfect
treatment performance is also quite ob-

of the orthodontic department at the

the National Dental PBRN Adult Anterior
Openbite Study,” at 2:10 p.m. today in
Room LACC 150/151.
Huang led the AAO Practice Based Research Network Committee, formed in
vious, which is not peripheral to patient
care but rather the bullseye of the target.
Less clear is how to successfully address
this raging epidemic. Promoting an ethical practice environment is omnipotent.
A holistic approach to care that ensures
the orthodontist, as well as the patient
and family have a voice in the treatment
plan, is underlying in resolving ethical
conflict. Maybe it is time and necessary
for a “third-party” to help sort out what
appears to have become not only a basis
for clinical burnout but, in some instances, an underlying ethical dilemma.
Emergent policies, regulations and
possibly legal intervention are necessary
to solve what has become an ethical and
moral crisis in our profession. We cannot
change what history has already written;
we can only change ourselves and begin
with unsure hands to write a new chapter.
As Peck stated: “…all this may help assure the best destiny for the specialty of
orthodontics. And for those of us who
care deeply about it, that will mean a lot.”
(p. 674).

Treatment satisfaction and the
orthodontist-patient relationships
Part one of two
By Angelica Chaghouri,
Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry,
University of Southern California
Abstract
Patient-centric care has been pervasive
across health systems in the United
States during the last several years (Epstein, Lesser and Levinson, 2010). The
same approach of putting patients first
in dentofacial treatment is no exception.
Individualized care is no easy feat and
requires a combination of factors: un-
AD
derstanding patients’ goals and expectations, treatment planning, utilizing upto-date instruments and tools and an
open and positive relationship between
health-care providers (i.e., orthodontists) and patients.
Researchers and practitioners alike
have poured hours into implementing
the best treatments and tools to achieve
patient success, and less attention has
been paid to how orthodontists’ relationships affects patients’ satisfaction
with their outcomes.
The study sought to understand how
doctor-patient relationships influence
patient satisfaction with their orthodontic treatment by soliciting survey
questionnaire responses from patients

outside the convention center, on Sunday.
in three different clinic environments.
A majority of patients who were satisfied
with treatment and the overall experience also had very positive relationships
with their orthodontists.
Orthodontist-patient relationships
and treatment satisfaction
Are orthodontia patients satisfied with
their outcomes upon the completion of
treatment? The days of the all-knowing
doctor are over, and as health-care providers, we cannot be satisfied solely
if a patient received and completed a
treatment (Anwar, 2017). Doctors need
to give attention to the wholeness of a
patient’s experience throughout treatment, which is commonly referred to as
patient-centric care.
Before patient-centric care was a priority, doctors solely dictated treatment
plans, but that has changed in recent
years. Today, doctor-patient relationships are a large part of the patient’s
overall experience. It is no longer satisfactory to simply address a patient’s
chief complaint. Patient satisfaction
with treatment outcome is a function of
the care received.
The relationship between orthodontists and their patients was studied to
determine if the nature of these relationships had an impact on the patient’s
feelings about his or her treatment outcome. More than two dozen patients
were surveyed about their relationship
with their orthodontist.
The survey data was not meant to
find a causal or correlative relationship between patient satisfaction and
doctor-patient relationships. Still, this
researcher finds meaningful insight can
be gleaned from the data to explore the
importance of doctor-patient relationships for treatment outcomes.
This research study was motivated by
my personal experience with orthodontic care as a young patient. For many
young patients, orthodontic treatment
can be the first contact an individual has
with a health system, and the orthodontist could become a standard for all future doctor visits.
The long-term contact with an orthodontist may also color an individual’s
perceptions of future contact with other
health-care providers.
Literature review
The literature demonstrated that factors
impacting patient satisfaction varied.
Pacheco-Pereira, Pereira, Dick, Perez and
Mir (2015) found that patient satisfaction
was associated with at least three different factors: perceived esthetic outcomes,
psychological outcomes and quality of
care. According to Bos, Hoogstraten and
Prahl-Andersen (2003), a patient’s attitude toward his/her appearance before
orthodontic treatment would affect the
perception of treatment after completion. If a patient has pre-treatment goals,
how hopeful can the orthodontist be regarding improving perceptions by providing care? Pacheco-Pereira et al. suggested that “quality of care” could be one
of the answers.
Pacheco-Pereira et al. defined “quality
of care” in terms of dentist-staff-patient
interactions during the course of treatment. Sinha, Nanda and McNeil (1996)
concluded that orthodontist-patient relationships had a significant effect on
satisfaction, compliance and adherence
during treatment.
Sinha et al. (1996) surveyed more than
200 adults before and after completing
orthodontic treatment that provided
evidence linking doctor-patient relationships and satisfaction. They suggested
that an orthodontist’s behavior was
correlated to patient satisfaction. They
identified behaviors such as politeness,
friendliness, empathy and communicativeness as influential in affecting satisfaction — the most important were
politeness, reassurance and concern.
Their research revealed that the doctor’s
calm, confident attitude and unhurried
approach increased patient satisfaction
(Sinha et al., 1996).
Sinha et al. emphasized that patient
compliance was definitely related to
treatment satisfaction. Nanda and Kierl
(1992) found that patient-doctor relationships have a significant effect on patient
compliance and treatment outcome.
There was conflicting research on the
topic of compliance. In 2003, Bos et al.
found that individuals who were generally satisfied with their smile had different expectations than those whose selfperception of their teeth was bad.
In 2005, Bos et al. found that there was
not a strong correlation between compliance and satisfaction but that sex was a
better predictor of satisfaction than compliance.
This suggested that a function of patient satisfaction with treatment outcome might be based on pre-treatment
appearance, which an orthodontist
would have no control over.

Dolphin moves its cloud to SaaS
model with Cloud Subscription
By Matt Yamamoto, Director of Sales,
Dolphin
D
olphin’s reputation is marked
by our eagerness to embrace
new technologies and use
them to develop cuttingedge solutions for our customers. Back
in 2012, we were excited to introduce
Dolphin Cloud Sessions — joining the
call of “cloud computing” and leading
orthodontics into the newest trend.
In this same spirit, and to better serve
the needs and preferences of our customers, we are now happy to announce
a new SaaS (software as a service) model
for our cloud product. We are calling it
Cloud Subscription, which essentially
means that customers can “subscribe”
to the software rather than “buy” it.
Dolphin Subscription will be offered
in two three-tiered packages to accommodate the different needs and size of a
practice. Customers will have the choice
of an Imaging and Imaging & Management package.
All updates, backups and support are
included in the subscription price, with
plans starting at $180 per month.
Here are some frequently asked questions about the service.
Tell me again what Dolphin Cloud
is?
Cloud Subscription lets you enjoy fullfeatured Dolphin Imaging and Management programs in the cloud. It
eliminates the need for a local server to
handle your Dolphin database, thereby
eliminating costly server purchases and
the fees associated with configuration
and maintenance.
We automatically update your software and perform the necessary, regular
data backups. You run the latest version
of Dolphin software, every time. And,
Cloud Subscription seamlessly supports
multiple offices.
Sounds cool. How does it do all
that?
Cloud Subscription utilizes industrystandard technologies such as remote
desktop connection, remote apps and
virtual workstations. An appropriate
combination of these technologies is
used to create a virtual server environment to deliver the Dolphin software
and data to your practice.
Will my data be secure?
Cloud Subscription is hosted in an
“SSAE-16 Type II certified” hosting facility, which adheres to all the latest security and network requirements for profes-
Illustration/Provided by Dolphin
sional hosting of data and applications.
The Type II Certification measures and
evaluates security over time.
OK, OK. What does ‘Cloud
computing’ mean anyway?
Cloud computing is the practice of using
a network of remote servers hosted on
the internet to store, manage and process data, rather than a local server or a
personal computer.
What are the compatible devices of
Dolphin Cloud Subscription?
You can connect to Dolphin Cloud Subscription using most desktop and mo-
bile devices, including:
• Windows PCs
• Macs
• smartphones (iOS and Android)
• tablets (such as iPads and even the
Microsoft Surface)

tops teleOrthodontic Platform can
put the orthodontic practice in the
palm of your patients’ hands
By Mark S. Sanchez, DDS, founder, CEO
and chief developer at tops Software
In today’s competitive orthodontic landscape, it’s important to offer speed and convenience. The tops
teleOrthodontic Platform™ — powered
by Rhinogram — brings the ultimate in
patient convenience to any orthodontic
practice.
We have created a way for new and
existing patients to almost literally put
an orthodontist’s practice in the palm of
the patients’ phones.
It’s the phones they look at for hours a
day — with their social media presence
AD
tied to directly to topsOrtho.
Rhinogram reports that four out of
five patients want the ability to text with
their orthodontist. Texting is fast, easy
and convenient. It gives the patient and
the practice their time to choose and engage.
Patients can tap to send a Facebook
Messenger text directly to the inbox in
topsOrtho. From there, your staff can
respond and answer initial patient questions. In fact, your staff can handle five
times as many inquiries via topsOrtho
messaging than by incoming patient
phone calls.
Rhinogram users have seen amazing
results, such as:

Platform, stop by the booth, No. 1637.
• 25 percent increase in new business.
• An additional $80,000 of new patient revenue per month.
• And phone call reduction of 50 percent.
With templated responses, practice
staff can direct patients to send photos
of their teeth that allow you — the practitioner — to do a preliminary consult
before the patient ever arrives at your
office. This is the kind of convenience
that patients today demand.
The tops teleOrthodontic platform
puts a practice on prospective patients’
phones. Whether they’re at home or at
work, any time of day, patients can reach
you without sitting on hold for 10 minutes, and those same patients can begin
to interact with a practice before they
drive by another practice down the road
or walk by a storefront in the mall.
Now orthodontists can bring their
practice to the patient instead of waiting for the patient to come to them.
TeleOrthodontics is the future for orthodontics. It gives patients better control
and options for communicating with a
practice, and topsOrtho puts that convenience at their fingertips.

Are you evaluating sleep,
breathing and airway
issues in your practice?
A comprehensive
HealthyStart System
provides the tools and
methods for treatment
By Leslie Stevens, HealthyStart
H
ow are we treating children
who exhibit sleep, breathing
or airway issues? In many
instances, we look to remove tonsils and adenoids, tape a child’s
mouth, provide myofunctional therapy
or possibly even expand the arches. Is
this enough?
The answer lies in a uniquely multidimensional treatment system called
the HealthyStart,® which addresses the
underlying root causes by expanding
the arches, promoting growth and development, and addressing improper
habits while creating proper habits simultaneously. The HealthyStart system
uses a series of oral appliances typically
worn at night while sleeping.
Research involving 501 children
showed that nine out of 10 children exhibit one or more outward symptoms of
sleep disordered breathing (SDB). These
outward symptoms can be identified
through the HealthyStart questionnaire,
where parents indicate their child’s applicable symptoms and provides the
degree of prevalence. On average, children will have four outward symptoms,
which can include:
• ADD/ADHD
• Headaches
• Nightmares
• Teeth grinding
• Bed wetting
• Difficulty in school
• Chronic allergies
• Restless sleep
• Dark circles under eyes
• Mouth breathing
• Daytime drowsiness
• Snoring
• Swollen tonsils/adenoids
• Delayed growth
• Defiance/aggression
Some habits are expressed as behaviors that are either repetitive or patterns
Photos/Provided by Ortho-Tain
that are instigated by sleep. Examples
of repetitive habits are thumb sucking,
tongue thrust, mouth breathing, etc.,
which can be addressed with myofunctional therapy. Each HealthyStart Habit
Corrector design has myofunctional
therapy built into each appliance and is
activated by a swallow.
Here in Los Angeles
To learn more about the HealthyStart System, visit
the HealthyStart booth, No. 1819, go online to
www.thehealthystart.com, email info@thehealthy
start.com or call (844) KID-HEALTHY.
During sleep, we swallow one time a
minute, and during the day, we swallow
two times a minute. When a child wears
the HealthyStart appliance at night,
500 corrective repetitions occur to create a proper swallow, eliminate mouth
breathing, create nasal breathing and
eliminate tongue thrusts. This assures
myofunctional therapy occurs with wear
and guarantees constant reinforcement,
even during sleep when it’s most needed.
Other habits instigated by sleep include bruxism, fidgeting, headaches,
bed wetting, allergies, asthma, etc.,
which HealthyStart addresses by influencing positive changes in sleep, breathing and the airway.
The HealthyStart System promotes
growth and development by influencing
jaw growth in a forward direction while
eliminating detrimental malocclusions
and deficiencies in jaw development
and growth. HealthyStart treats any
overbite, overjet, open-bite, crossbite,
gummy smile, Class III and deficiencies
in both the upper and lower arches.
The HealthyStart system will promote
54 percent growth in the mandible as
compared to the control sample. The
HealthyStart treatment allows maximum airway development. The System
expands arches to gain greater nasal
breathing and provides an area for the
tongue to position in the upper palate.
The proprietary HealthyStart technique incorporates built-in myofunctional therapy with a ramp to lift tongue
and expansion tabs to flatten tongue and
add pressure for expansion of the arches. Additional expansion is gained with
the eruption of teeth. The HealthyStart
system utilizes natural eruptive forces
of the teeth to gain approximately 4 mm
of expansion. Typically the expansion
that is gained with use of the HealthyStart system represents 77 percent of the
needed expansion of pediatric patients.
Learn more about the HealthyStart
technique, which addresses the underlying root causes of SDB, creates dramatic
changes in occlusions, promotes jaw
growth, creates proper habits and eliminates poor habits all while expanding
the arches. Complimentary educational
webinars are available at www.healthy
startwebinar.com, and 1 C.E. credit is provided. Make a more permanent change
for your sleep patient by treating early
and treating for life.
