Awards
2025 Samir Bishara Award of Merit
The 2024-25 Council is pleased to announce Dr. Dan Rejman as the recipient of the 2025 Samir Bishara Award of Merit. DAN REJMAN was born and raised in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. He worked on his family’s large dairy farm throughout his childhood and early adult years after attending Hobart College for his undergraduate degree. He started dental school at age 29, after realizing that he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. He attended the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and worked as a general dentist for several years outside of Rochester, NY. He decided to become an orthodontist and received his Masters in Orthodontics from Marquette University. Dr. Rejman spent several years practicing in Annapolis, MD before settling in Castle Rock, Colorado, where he opened his practice with his wife, and office manager, Julie. He currently has two offices in the Castle Rock area, where he and Julie raised their four children. Dan clearly remembers the day he responded to an email from the College looking for candidates to represent RMSO and SWSO. The question he and his wife discussed…”Aren’t we too busy to get involved at this point in our lives?” Looking back at this years later, Dan is incredibly thankful that even though the answer was “yes”, he made the decision to get involved with the College. He has made hundreds of cherished relationships and feels great satisfaction to have contributed in some small way to our profession.

Honorary Ray Thurow Speaker Dr. Tom Pitts
Dr. Nimet Guiga
Dr. Thomas Pitts is an accomplished orthodon - tist with over five decades of experience. He currently serves as the Executive Clinical Director of Ortho Classic, a globally recog- nized supplier of orthodontic products. With a career spanning back to 1970, Dr. Pitts has dedicated himself to the practice of orthodon- tics, specializing in smile arc and traditional
Dr. Nimet Guiga, obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1992 at the University of Coimbra Medical School in Portugal. In 1998, she took a 2 year program in Implantology and Oral Surgery at the Biotechnology Institute in Spain. In 2006, she started a post-graduate program in Ortho- dontics. She completed a 3 year Masters
techniques. A respected figure in the orthodontic community, Dr. Pitts holds a Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry and a Master of Science in Orthodontics Degree from the University of Washing- ton. Known for his groundbreaking contributions to the field, Dr. Pitts has invented the Pitts 21 system, bracket slot, and arch forms, revolutionizing orthodontic practices. His commitment to education is evident through his numerous publications and lectures. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Dr. Pitts values family time and enjoys golfing. His dedication to community affairs reflects his commitment to making a positive impact both in and out of the orthodontic realm. Remove the Band-Aid Dr. Pitts will introduce an avatar that he brings to the specialty of or - thodontics. This is not a replacement of traditional orthodontic treat - ment and finishing, but an addition to ‘ideal’ finishing tooth relation - ships, that enhances esthetics and efficiency. It’s very important to finish cases with a beautiful functioning occlusion, perio and healthy tooth placement. Will review added protocols that he’s worked with for many years as well as show many different types of cases to demonstrate these protocols and results. As well as explain his exam process including diagnosis and treatment planning that begins with esthetics and then examines the typical intra oral discrepancies. He will also address how he promotes his practice very simply and with very little expense. He will address scientific testing as evidence for the efficacy of these protocols/biomechanics. Demonstrating the efficiency gained with his square wire system, which is part of his protocols to help orthodontists be more efficient with less force. Learning Objectives • Learn how to improve ‘smile esthetics’ and achieve a great occlusion and perio. • How to achieve great efficiency in treatment with best ‘facial esthetics’. • How to get a great result on numerous surgical cases done non-surgically.
Degree in Orthodontics at the University of Toulouse-Paul Sabatier in France. She then went on to take a Specialist Degree in Orthodontics at the University of Andorra. Dr. Guiga also did a 2 year Specialist program in Lingal Orthodontics at the Com- pultense University in Madrid, Spain. She then started studying Facial Harmonization focusing on enhancing her orthodontic treatment outcomes by treating dysfunctional muscles related to malocclusions as well as changing soft tissue orthodontic cephalometric points. She now dedicates herself to Facial Driven Orthodontics and the Smile Arc Protocol Technique developed by Dr. Thomas Pitts. She is a worldwide lecturer and is especially proud of lecturing with Dr. Pitts and being part of his teaching team at his 2 year Masters Continuum Program in the USA. Get Ahead, Stay Ahead! Game Changing Orthodontics! Untimely Results Diagnosis and treatment planning for Facially Driven Ortho- dontics and the optimal position of the upper central incisor are crucial for achieving excellent esthetic outcomes. “Begin with the end in mind,” as Dr. Thomas Pitts often says, is key to success. Finishing an orthodontic case starts before the appliance is placed, with a solid diagnosis and plan. Good facial harmony can exist within a wide range of cephalometric values, and even well-treated cases that meet ABO criteria may not produce an esthetic smile. Modern orthodontic care must assess both soft and hard tissue, perform a complete smile analysis, and account for the aging effects on facial and peri-oral tissues. Learning Objectives • Include enhancement of facial beauty as one of the primary elective goals of patients seeking orthodontic care. • Include the aging effects brought upon the face and peri- oral tissues in treatment planning to create lasting results. • Use facial harmonization techniques to achieve ideal nose, lip, and chin relationships and proper muscle balance.

Dr. Mark Wertheimer
Dr. Sylvain Chamberland
Dr. Mark Wertheimer has been in specialist orthodontist practice since 1996. He has been actively involved with various dental boards and societies during his career and is currently a past Director on the Board of the South African Dental Association; and also past President of the South African Society of Orthodontists.
Dr. Chamberland received his DMD degree from Laval University in 1983, a Certificate in Orthodontics from University of Montre- al in 1990 and a Master degree in dental science in 2008 from Laval University where he was part time clinical instructor and teacher at the undergraduate program of the dental faculty from 1991 to 2008. He
During his career, Dr. Wertheimer has maintained a keen interest in keeping abreast of new trends and technology in orthodontics and has attended many congresses, both locally and internationally. The most recent being an intensive course in San Francisco dealing specifically with Different Types of Maloc - clusion with or without Dysfunctional Problems as it relates to occlusion. Dr. Wertheimer graduated as a dentist in 1986 at the University of the Witwatersrand. He graduated as an orthodon- tist in 1995 and went on to be admitted as a Fellow of the Col- lege of Dentistry of SA in the branch of Orthodontics in 1996. He was involved in the teaching of postgraduate orthodontic students in the Orthodontic department at the Wits Dental School over a period of 16 years. Are Implants in the Esthetic Zone a Wise Choice – Revisiting the Dilemma of Missing Teeth Missing teeth in the esthetic zone are encountered often. This maybe congenital, or in later life due to various factors, for exam- ple, trauma. While implants may be an obvious option, evidence has proven that they often present significant challenges in later years. This lecture explores the various options for treating pa - tients with missing teeth in the esthetic zone, and references the various problems that may arise based on contemporary scientific evidence. Patient examples will be used to illustrate these chal - lenges and the options for treatment. Learning Objectives • Identify the salient questions regarding treatment for missing teeth in the esthetic zone. • Review the evidence related to implants in the esthetic zone. • Explore options to mitigate challenges during treatment of missing teeth in the esthetic zone.
lectures in several graduate programs and scientific meetings in the US, Canada and Europe. He is also a published author. Old School is Not Bad School The aim of this lecture is to review throughout a retrospective look at cases treated early in my career ask if I would treat them nowadays, what would I do differently. Several new technologies appear in the orthodontic fields, the bone biology and the tooth don’t know where the force to move from whether it is a bracket, a wire of plastic. One should keep in mind that bracket, wire or plastic don’t move teeth. Force and momentum does. The bone biology did not change, and it tends to be forgotten if one listens to some advertisements from many com- panies and their KOL. They want us to try this new magic device for this or that and the orthodontist become the beta tester and may get stuck with failure of the new device to obtain the claimed benefit. A good understanding of biomechanics is mandatory to de - liver efficient force systems to move the teeth. Tip back mechanism, intrusive arch, T-loop retraction spring, box loop, transpalatal arch and lingual arch are tools that I still use on a routine basis. Over the years, I have tried several appliances because I tend to be an early adopter, but in retrospect, I learned the hard way that such or such thing may not work, or the learning curve could be steep. The use of TADS to treat open bite and MARPE for trans- verse deficiency are good example of new technologies that changes the treatment approach of several malocclusions. We will do some time traveling showing cases with transverse deficiency treated with 3-piece Le Fort 1 to SARPE , to MARPE to DOME . Surgical treatment planning has evolved from models on articula- tor, free-hand surgery to 3D surgical planning. We will discuss direct bonding versus indirect bonding. What is the advantage or disadvan- tage. We will review the treatment approach for OSA patient, com- plex inderdisciplinary treatment involving perio, prostho and surgery. Learning Objectives • Explore the biomechanics and old school techniques to deliver efficient force systems to move the teeth. • Understand that new systems are not always better than old systems. • Review treatment approaches complex interdisciplinary treatments involving perio, prostho and surgery.

Additionally, he serves as an examiner for the Council on Dental Accreditation Malocclusions, specifically skeletal Class II, skeletal Class III, severe crowding, and vertical anomalies such as open and deep bites present unique challenges for orthodontists to diagnose and treat efficiently. Many of these challenges relate to the wide diversity of the clinical presentation and complicating factors such as incisor position and torque, the need for transverse expansion, and vertical management of the case. The attendees will be instructed to identify the needs of their patients and customize their treatments utilizing a personalized approach and custom appliances. Learning Objectives • Have a better understanding of precision orthodontics and personalized treatment. • Familiarize themselves with customized appliance design and fabrication. • Plan and execute treatment of complex cases with a personalized approach. and the American Board of Orthodontics.

System and honorable mention for the 2024 Ortho Innovator Award for custom metal SL, holds numerous orthodontic patents, and has served as a consultant and advisor for various digital orthodontic systems. Dr. Owen received a BS in from Montana State University-Bozeman, DDS, Orthodontic Residency, MS from University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. He is currently resides in Lakeway, Texas with his wife and two children. The Benefits of Custom Braces Theoretically, custom makes all the sense in the world. Having brackets and wires deliver the teeth to the original position elevates outcomes and maximizes efficiency. However, the challenge with any system is implementation – getting through the change curve to actually achieve the promise of what digital solutions have to offer. The trick is making technology work for you, not vice versa. We need to understand the real difference between conventional, one-size-fits-all solutions versus custom orthodontics from a results perspective and from an efficiency perspective. In this session, Dr. Brandon Owen, Founder and President of KLOwen Orthodontics looks at how to accelerate integration to achieve workflow efficiency, deliver quality outcomes, and ultimately realize more predictable ROI for the whole practice – doctor, team, and patients. Learning Objectives • Understand how filling the slot with a custom bracket gives the practitioner more control. • Understand how more control can reduce the stress of the orthodontic team. • Understand how to make custom braces actually deliver a positive ROI.
