The Face of Change: Integrating Growth and Aging into Smile Design
Honorary Ray Thurow Speaker Dr. David Sarver, DMD, MS
Dr. Sarver received his DMD from The University of Alabama School of Dentistry and M.S. in Orthodontics from the Univer - sity of North Carolina in 1979. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a member of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists, a Fellow in both the International and American
This lecture explores how growth, aging, and skeletal balance shape the face and smile over a patient’s lifetime. Drawing on de - cades of longitudinal records and innovative treatment planning software, Dr. Sarver will demonstrate how long-term data helps guide evidence-based decision making, and with Dr. Ferris will highlight aligner therapy, skeletal anchorage, restorative strate - gies, and surgical planning can be integrated to deliver transfor - mative esthetic and functional outcomes. Participants will learn how early intervention can positively influence facial and dental development, how to manage complex adult patients, and how digital tools allow clinicians to simulate, communicate, and deliv - er impactful results. Participants will learn how early intervention can positively influence facial and dental development, how to manage complex adult patients, and how digital tools allow clini - cians to simulate, communicate, and deliver impactful results. Learning Objectives: • Understand the influence of growth and aging on facial esthetics and smile design through long-term clinical records and subsequent data illustrated through digital simulations for patient communication. • Identify opportunities for early intervention to mitigate skeletal and dental imbalances and positively guide long- term facial development. • Evaluate treatment strategies ranging from orthognathic surgery cases with exceptional outcomes to interdisciplinary approaches that combine aligners, osseous anchorage, and restorative care to deliver esthetic, surgical-level results. • Incorporate software tools and digital planning into every - day practice to enhance diagnosis, simulate outcomes, and improve patient communication.
