Course Instructor
This course is taught by Dr. Edward Gonzalez, a pediatric dentist based in the Tampa, Florida area. Dr. Gonzalez has practiced all phases of orthodontics for over thirty years and consistently has treated 300 orthodontic patients per year. He is a past president of the AOS and currently the Executive Director of the Academy of Diplomates (the credentialing arm of the Society) and a AOS senior instructor. He has lectured for over 25 years bringing his unique style of Early Treatment to thousands of doctors. Dr. Gonzalez is the “go to” expert on facial growth and development for SOS. He was honored to receive from the AOS “The Moore Lifetime Achievement Award”. He has treated over 4,000 Phase I patients and understands the tremendous impact that orthodontics can have on any pediatric or general practice. Armed with the knowledge from this course, you could substantially increase the annual revenue in your practice by adding only five new orthodontic “starts” a month. Dr. Ed Gonzalez has no financial relationships relevant to this presentation to disclose.
