Happy New Year

I hope that 2022 has many good things in store for you and will be a year in which things will start looking up again. We will have many exciting new developments this year. Our residents will have more chances to explore various digital technologies which would be crucial for their future success along with the sound fundamentals of orthodontics. Additionally, we are so thrilled to have you in person at the AAO alumni reception in Miami Beach, Florida.
