<i>"Just returned from taking Ortho 1 & 2 and I'll tell you
I feel very confident that I can do quality orthodontic cases. Before
coming out to the courses I felt intimidated to even begin this branch of
dentistry. I had a little bit of ortho in dental school and did 1 case,
but I am really new to all of this. Clayton made the courses easy to
understand and I now feel extremely confident that I can do this. It is a
lot easier than I thought. I thank God that I went for it and now have
another way to do phase 2. I can think of a lot of previous cases that
could have greatly benefited if I would have known ortho a long time ago.
Thank you Clayton and Jane for a great week." <b>- Shane A. Nelson, D.D.S., Overland Park, Kansas </b></i><o:p></o:p></div>

over the last 5 years these two are tops. So organized and logical in the
approach to solving your occlusal puzzle. The group asked great questions that
led to very insightful exchanges. Clayton definitely knows how to keep the main
thing the main thing. Thanks to all for a great 4 days. PS had 2 ortho patients in on Monday and made
some constructive changes in plan that will definitely speed up results."</i><o:p></o:p></div>

Prior to this course, I kind of understood the concept in a general way but you were able to clearly explain the process and all the little details required for me to confidently proceed in this direction. For anyone who does orthodontics, I highly recommend this course.

<i>"Just wanted to drop a word and thank Dr. Chan and Jane for putting up another very informative and "pearl full" course together. We spent two days covering over a number of seemingly very complex cases. Clayton has a magical way of making everything look so simple and doable. It was also wonderful to meet many like minded colleagues with different levels of skills in ortho, and I was able to gain from each and every one of them. Hope everyone had a good trip back. It was also nice to put a face with some familiar names on the forum and finally meet them in person. Looking forward to our next course." </i><br />

<i>"There is nothing mysterious about Ortho 2, just fact and common sense. Bending wires and using functional appliances in dental school 25 years ago was not my idea of fun especially not knowing the END POINT. I was intimidated seeing my clients come into the office with a mouth full of hardware, springs, elastics and acrylic staring up at me and wondering what is all this doing to the teeth, surrounding bones and more importantly the functional relationship between the condyles, muscles and articular discs. </i><i>Knowing in advance of what you are trying to achieve and understanding the principles and techniques in getting there is a definite "take away" from this course. This course summons and enhances the knowledge obtained in all previous OC level courses and places it into the realm of orthopedics. Yes you can stay on "trajectory"in the midst of bands, elastics and acrylic....</i><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The spirit and passion to teach, learn and inspire can be seen in the eyes of all."</span><br />
