This Edition
Every journey teaches us something different. For the journey ahead to be safe there must be a route plan; and to draw one, you must first know where you set out from and which vessels you will use.
Sailors say the route must be charted in detail before setting sail — because “if you do not know which harbour you are heading for, no wind will help you.” As orthodontists, every orthodontic journey likewise needs a route: a treatment plan.
In this course, the routes charted, the harbours visited and the adventures lived through twenty years of orthodontic journeys were shared. May your bow be clear and the wind be with you.
