Continuing Education with Dr. Ma

In order to provide his patients with the most up-to-date and effective orthodontic treatments, Dr. Daniel Ma regularly continues his education by attending seminars and courses throughout North America. Recently, Dr. Ma traveled from our beautiful city of Vancouver, BC to Anaheim, CA for the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists and the World Implant Orthodontic Conference.

This year's conference theme was “Partners in Excellence. Leading Through Innovation.” It offered a cutting-edge, evidence-based clinical program in which Dr. Ma was excited to participate. One of the things he found most interesting was the trend to accelerate orthodontic treatment. This can be done through surgery of the dentoalveolar bone surrounding the teeth or by using appliances inside the mouth.

The PCSO/WIOC conference attracted many world-renowned speakers, including Dr. Ngan, who has an extensive background in treating children with under-bites. His lectures on this subject always provide Dr. Ma with useful clinical information on how to treat this difficult malocclusion.

Another speaker Dr. Ma enjoyed listening to was Dr. Aaron Molen, with a topic of “Riding the Digital Wave – Tips & Tricks for the Digital Office.” The lecture featured useful information on how to integrate new technologies into the orthodontic office.

Of course, after the conference, Dr. Ma took the opportunity to explore all that Anaheim has to offer, including Disneyland, where he met up with his wife and children. They had a great time at “the Happiest Place on Earth”!
