Teaching at The University of Michigan

Dr. Bowman just completed teaching his course for orthodontic residents at The University of Michigan School of Dentistry Department of Orthodontics. This was the 12th year he has provided this seminar that he has created for first year students.  It is great fun to spend time with students that are anxious to learn all they can about their chosen specialty.  

Beautiful, Natural Smiles from Kalamazoo Orthodontics

Beautiful, Natural Smile from KO

Anna Schriemer's beautiful, natural smile came from Kalamazoo Orthodontics where we used our signature Butterfly System braces and a couple of miniscrews to eliminate overbite without headgear.  Anna's proud of her lovely result and so are we for the privilege of having her spend time with us while engineering her new smile!

Kalamazoo Orthodontics was one of the first 4 orthodontists in the world to introduce Invisalign Teen.  As part of the Invisalign Teen Research Team, Dr. Bowman laid the groundwork with a clinical investigation of teen patients treated with Invisalign.  Subsequently, Invisalign Teen has become a integral and popular part of our orthodontic armamentarium.  We offer a number of innovative options for creating beautiful and natural smiles with and without visible braces.

We offer complimentary consultations for our patients to get an opinion about the best options for orthodontics, customized for their particular needs and desires.  Call us at 269-344-2466 and let us make you feel right at home at Kalamazoo Orthodontics in Portage, Kalamazoo, and Paw Paw, MI.

Dr. Jay Bowman at the 113th American Association of Orthodontists

Dr. S. Jay Bowman was again invited to provide a lecture for the American Association of Orthodontists.  This, the 113th Annual Session, was held in Philadelphia.  Dr. Bowman addressed the methods and procedures to correct Class II bites, also commonly known as "overbites."  The tongue-in-cheek title of the talk was "Interrupting Dentoalveolar Compensation:  Deja Moo All Over Again" and the presentation was filled with plenty of "interrupting cows."  The intent of the old knock-knock joke was to catch the audience's attention to remember the biologic changes that actually occur during the correction of these types of bites for growing patients.  

He also demonstrated a number of appliances and mechanisms along with their individual limitations, while suggesting improvements.  He also again described his invention, the Horseshoe Jet as he introduced the concept of AcceleDent, accentuated molar distalization.  His enthusiasm and passion once again did 'occasionally' shine through during his presentation to the orthodontic audience . . . . .

In addition to attending the Society of Educators meeting (thanks to Saint Louis University) prior to the start of the official AAO, he also provided 2 other talks for OrthoAccel.  He gave a progress update on Kalamazoo Orthodontics prospective evaluation of AcceleDent treatment.  

Dr. Lysle E. Johnston, Jr., Professor Emeritus at Saint Louis University and The University of Michigan, and Dr. Buzz Behrents, Chairman of the Saint Louis University-CADE Department of Orthodontics. Truly, two of the most influential orthodontists in the world. All 3 of us look better just a little bit out of focus.

Got Chewies! Invisalign and Aligner Chewies: a Match Made in Kalamazoo

Got Chewies? 

Invisalign patients have popularized Aligner Chewies to help seat their aligner trays and keep their Invisalign treatments "on-track."

Did you know that Chewies are one of Dr. Jay Bowman's inventions? 

They were originated at Kalamazoo Orthodontics and have been used with Invisalign all 

around the planet. 

Keep Chewing, My Friend!
