Speeding Up Adult Orthodontic Treatment Time

Posted on: 05.10.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Propel Dental Device

One of the most valuable ways to encourage adults to begin their orthodontic treatment is to offer a procedure to reduce the total time they have to wear braces or manage aligners. For the last 5 years or so we have been incorporating a surgically-facilitated ortho technique called "Propel" into our treatment plans. Read More

Important Storage Differences Between Dental Materials

Posted on: 05.10.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Refrigerator thermometer

Are you making sure that all of your dental materials are being stored at the proper temperature? This question came up recently in my office with two dental materials that I thought were very similar, but require different storage temps. In this video we will discuss the impact it has on materials when they are not stored at the proper temperature. Read More

Indirect Restorative Challenges

Posted on: 04.30.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Upper teeth prepared for restorations

I think it is fair to say that all dentists have encountered challenges during the execution of an indirect restorative case. Even more frustrating is when you encounter something unpredictable after the case has been seated. In this webinar I will go over some of the common challenges and frustrations I encounter in my practice as well as some that dentists Read More

How to Rescue a Veneer Seat With Acetone

Posted on: 04.22.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Seating dental restorations with resin-based cements can be daunting. The process is extremely technique sensitive and requires multiple steps. One of the things I learned years ago is to keep a small cup of acetone or ethanol on the tray table, just in case. In this video I will explain what it does and how to use it to rescue a ceramic restoration so you Read More

Learning To Love Practicing Dentistry

Posted on: 04.15.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Those of you who know me personally know I love practicing dentistry - and that has not always been true. Today I got a very special surprise in the mail that was a reminder of what changed my perspective; what gave me what I needed to create my own path so that I could still love dentistry all these years later. In this video I will share the two key Read More

The Dilemma of Dental Hygiene Handpiece Management

Posted on: 03.29.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Dental hygiene handpiece

In my office we recently reviewed how we manage our hygiene handpieces with disposable prophy angles. I wanted to share with you some of the options available, and the recommendations and research data that support them. Read More

Using Bite Ramps For Every Orthodontic Aligner Case

Posted on: 03.14.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Two of the most common issues with aligner-based orthodontic treatment are posterior tooth intrusion that wasn't planned and mandibular repositioning more anteriorly. In this video we will discuss how bite ramps on every case can help prevent both of these challenges. Read More

Digital Calipers for Verifying VDO

Posted on: 03.05.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

In our recent webinar on vertical dimension of occlusion I discussed a very important tool for any dental procedure where VDO is being changed: digital calipers. In this video I will discuss digital calipers and where to get them. Read More

The Dilemma of Vertical Dimension of Occlusion

Posted on: 02.22.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

Measuring tooth length on dental wax up

One of the most common dilemmas in treatment planning is whether or not to open vertical dimension as part of the proposed treatment. First we wrestle with the idea of opening it because we think there is evidence it has “collapsed”. Second, we wrestle with whether or not we can open it as a tool to help resolve restorative or functional issues. Third, we Read More

The Power of an Aesthetic Mock-Up

Posted on: 02.20.22 | by Lee Ann Brady

In this video I will share an experience from yesterday in my dental practice about the power of an aesthetic mock-up to help boost our confidence as the clinician. When we are confident in where a case is going is completely shifts the patient's experience, allows them to relax and also feel confident. Read More
