Register now and hear a clinician’s 10-year perspective on 3D imaging and 3D printing at the 2017 Winter Conference, February 10-11 in Fort Lauderdale. In addition to Dr. Ed Lin’s lecture, speakers will share new perspectives on Internet and social media marketing and a deep dive into technology return on investment.

The meeting, “Technology: Balancing Profit, Lifestyle and Patient Care,” will feature presentations by well-regarded consultants and AAO members with expertise in technology-related aspects of practice management.

“Orthodontists love gadgets,” says Dr. Greg Jorgensen, general chair of the conference. “Most of us are technology nerds. In addition to craving the newest and coolest things, we also feel pressure to make sure our practices are up-to-date technologically. As a young doctor, you wonder, ‘If I don’t have this technology, will I be able to compete?’ As you near retirement, you worry, ‘If I don’t have this technology, will I be able to sell?’ And in the mid-career years, you ask yourself, ‘Will this make me money, make my life easier, and give my patients better care?’ Attendees will leave the conference with a better idea of not only what is the newest thing, but also a grasp of what technology makes sense for their individual practices.’”
