Manage Your Treatment Process Efficiently and Effectively
Speaker: Al Atta, DDS, MSD, MBA

This course is an introduction to the business of orthodontics, where our treatment process must be managed according to the accepted business function and business intelligence to ensure on-time efficiency and with controlled cost for continuous cash flow effectiveness. In a currently stressed market both are survival issues. This course will define the clinical practice efficiency ratio. You will learn to identify and measure it so you can utilize it as the core factor in determining your schedule.

  • Learn how to reduce their cost of service and be more efficient.
  • Measure their clinical efficiency.
  • Manage cycle time and actual time for each activity in the treatment process.
  • Learn how to manage their schedule, including peak and off-peak time and avoid bottlenecks.
  • Learn how to avoid high patient inventory by managing the flow of patients to ensure on-time treatment.
  • Identify good cost and toxic cost as well as cost drivers.
  • Determine their break-even point.
  • Practice customized treatment processes that deal with variability.

The Rationale for Extractions in Class II Malocclusions
Speaker: Larry White, DDS, MSD, FACD

Charles Tweed and Raymond Begg had enormous influence on the orthodontic profession by popularizing the remove of maxillary and mandibular premolars in the treatment of Class II malocclusions. That protocol still enjoys outsized and undeserved esteem. This presentation will display theoretically and clinically how and why that practice often leads to clinical failure. Clinicians will see some alternative therapies that have more rational bases and much higher chances of success, and doctors can immediately implement these ideas.
