Annual Lecture - British Society for General Dental Surgery

A Saturday lecture at the annual conference of the British Society for General Dental Surgery, held at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Warwick. Just down the road from our Solihull base, really.

The conference subject was Digital Dentistry and I spoke to the assembled dentists about the many technological advances in digital orthodontics and the opportunities these create.

Treatment is now easier to plan and communication with colleagues and patients is vastly improved. With high-specification imagery, we can show patients their treatment possibilities and even show them the probable outcomes. Plus, we can make treatment more individual, with custom-made appliances that are far more precise and comfortable and lead to better outcomes more quickly.  Some of these, such as the Incognito lingual system, are completely invisible!
