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.
