Dr. Bowman just attended another advanced Invisalign course, Clear Techniques II, featuring Dr. Willy Dayan, a very innovative Invisalign provider who practices in Toronto. A hallmark of Dr. Dayan's applications and innovation is the closure of openbites using Invisalign. His approach is slightly different from that of Dr. Bob Boyd, the chairman of the orthodontic department at the University of Pacific, and makes use of the inherent advantages of the "bite plane effect" of clear aligners in designing specific biomechanics to intrude posterior teeth. Considering that openbites are notoriously one of the most complex and perplexing issues to face an orthodontist, both the results demonstrated by Drs. Dayan and Boyd are extremely promising alternatives.
Two of our team members, Paige and Courtney, attended the concurrent Treatment Coordinator Workshop presented by well-known speaker, Rosemary Bray. Dr. Bowman and Rosemary have both spoken on the same C.E. programs in the past. Her enthusiasm and experience are infectious as she offers excellent advice in assisting patients during their orthodontic care.
Kalamazoo Orthodontics was one of the first practices in the U.S. to offer Invisalign when it was first introduced in 1999. We were the first and only Premier Provider of Invisalign in the Kalamazoo area in 2006 and we have continued to maintain that status. Dr. Bowman has created several concepts as adjuncts to Invisalign including Aligner Chewies, Retainer Retrievers, and we have several adjustment pliers in development as well. Dr. Bowman was one of the first 4 U.S. Orthodontists to implement Invisalign Teen as part of the Invisalign Research Team.
