NORTH CAROLINA 2009
NCAO Meeting Feb. 5-7, 2009 at the
Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center
Durham, North Carolina
SPEAKER:
Dr. John Graham
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
Dr. Graham will be discussing orthodontic temporary anchorage devices. If you are using these devices in your practice currently, Dr. Graham will certainly have some “pearls” that you can take home and put to use immediately. If TADs are not part of your treatment armamentarium, Dr. Graham does an excellent job of “demystifying” the process and demonstrating how easy and effective these devices can be. Our meeting will include a hands-on TADs placement opportunity on Saturday morning. This is always a very popular aspect of Dr. Graham’s presentation.
