Course Outline for Dr. Bob Fry
Simplify Your Life: Practical Tips on Orthodontic Treatment, Management and Marketing
This fast paced presentation of systems-based approaches to orthodontic treatment, marketing, and management is divided into two segments.
Dr. Fry will share his thoughts on why self ligation is gaining in popularity. Having used seven different self-ligating appliances and with over 7,000 cases treated with these appliances, he will show us why self ligation is certainly gaining in popularity and will likely become the orthodontic appliance of the future.
