The Big Two of Communication
The Big Two of Communication

By Amy Demas

We are busy communicating and being communicated with our entire lives. And as you may have noticed, it doesn’t even require verbal communication to get a point across. Think of how babies let us know their needs and how they cue us before even mastering a spoken language. And don’t even get me going on how our pets communicate with us. No words are needed for them to get their point across and gain our compliance and cooperation.

Increasing Speed in the Orthodontic Practice by Reducing Friction

By Roger P. Levin, DDS

There’s a wonderful saying that states, “In business, speed counts.” Orthodontic practices are businesses and speed definitely has an impact on the volume of patients that can be seen each day. Assuming a practice has the right number of referrals, which is the first prerequisite for a successful orthodontic practice, the speed of volume in regard to moving patients through the practice becomes a critical factor in its overall success.
