Pearls for Treatment Planning With Interdisciplinary Patients
For many orthodontists, managing patients who require interdisciplinary treatment (IDT) is a source of extreme frustration – but it can also be a source of great pride and satisfaction as you see a complex orthodontic restorative patient transformed into a happier, more confident person.

So how do you minimize the frustration and maximize the satisfaction?

In "Pearls for Treatment Planning With Interdisciplinary Patients," produced by the publisher of Practical Reviews in Orthodontics, Brody J. Hildebrand, DDS, offers 15 targeted ways to ensure success and minimize common problems
with IDT.

Here's what you'll learn as you listen:

  • How to get the IDT team working together
  • Tips for preplanning and coordinating overlap in treatments
  • How to make sure all doctors are presenting a consistent message to the patient
  • How to effectively manage patient expectations
  • Why success may depend on how well you plant the seeds for additional treatment after the orthodontic phase
  • What constitutes truly informed consent with IDT patients
  • How to avoid excessive treatment times and frustrating delays
  • Why inadequate communication between dentists can jeopardize treatment and even give rise to a lawsuit
  • How to discuss grafting with patients – without scaring them off
  • Why you should implement a "refer back early" philosophy
  • The importance and timing of pre-debond consultations
  • How effective IPT coordination can increase referrals to your practice
  • And more!

Order today and take this easy, 30-minute step toward improving your handling of difficult IDT patients. Your purchase is RISK-FREE with our 100% guarantee of satisfaction!
