POS Instructor Dr. Jeffery Taylor stopped by POS headquarters to share his expert insight into orthodontic case finishing in our latest instructor Q&A video.

After teaching Seminar 6 in Orange County recently, POS instructor Dr. Subodh Swaroop sat down with us to share some tips for success for all POS students who are midway through our seminar series.

It’s the start of a new year which means it’s time to plan your dental CE courses for the year. Undoubtedly, you can only dedicate so much time to continuing education between your patient schedule and personal life. So it’s important to make the most of the time you can commit to education.

In this guest post by POS graduate Dr. Rani Seeth, learn how she successfully treated a "snaggle tooth" case for her patient Johana.

An interview with one of POS' most successful graduates

Dr. Rani Seeth is a successful owner of two family dental practices in Illinois. She has been offering comprehensive orthodontic care to her patients since 2012 when she started taking Progressive Orthodontic Seminars’ (POS’) Comprehensive Orthodontic Series. She has treated hundreds of orthodontic patients and quickly transformed her practice with orthodontic services.

Having graduated with Highest Honors, we wanted to hear her story on how she was able to manage her time and patients. Read what she did to excel in her POS studies and help so many orthodontic patients.

We’re going back to the basics because we regularly get asked about appliance philosophy and how it all works. Since many dentists want more working knowledge on appliance design and prescription philosophy we’re going to share some educational information about orthodontic appliances that every dentist should understand. This post is informational and does not intentionally promote any type of orthodontic appliance or brand.

We asked some of our recent graduates to share their memorable cases. In the spirit of giving thanks, we are sharing this story we received from a 2016 graduate.

As a general dentist, you have the flexibility to evolve your services to maximize your profits (and happiness). For those researching if orthodontics may be a good business move for you, this post will help you understand how it would affect your bottom line.

Stubborn spaces can be the most frustrating situation in orthodontics. If you’ve ever encountered this, you may have tried closing the space with all your tools—rubber bands, closed coils, and power chains—but the space was still there.

Sometimes trying too hard can make the problem worse. But don't worry, take some records and investigate what the true source of your frustrating immobility is. POS Instructor, Dr. Glenn Takenaga, shares the most common reasons why your space just isn't closing. Use this check list to discover the real reason why your teeth are not moving, so you can quickly move back on track to finishing.

Bracketing your first patient can be nerve-racking. But don't worry, follow these steps for a stress-free appointment. Your patient will be happily showing off their new braces soon!
