The Future of the Specialty: Evolution of Business Practices, Cultural Changes, and Observations of Practice Metrics Over the Last Thirty Years
Presented by: Chris Bentson
This presentation is derived from 30+ years of experience as an on-the-ground observer of orthodontic practices in North America and the corporate entities that exist today. This lecture will review how the orthodontic specialty has evolved (and continues to transform) in three key areas: business practices, cultural changes in the consumer and inside the walls of the practice, and observations on practitioners’ stress levels. There will be a forward look at how the specialty will continue to evolve and what the future holds in these three areas. The lecture will conclude with observations on happiness relating to a person's financial outcomes and decisions.
Just wanted to say thank you for your presentation yesterday. I thought it was great and provided us with a great perspective.
-David E. Walker, D.D.S.
On behalf of the Cleveland Society of Orthodontists, I want to tell you how much we enjoyed your presentation on Business Succession Planning. Our members who attended spoke favorably about the information you presented and were glad they attended. Your lecture brought new insights and valuable information to our profession; I would imagine they will all put some of your ideas into practice.
-Lorraine Mollohan, Executive Director
