AAO’s annual session theme captured at 3M booth

ST. PAUL‚ Minn. – (April 18, 2017) – Thousands of orthodontists and staff from around the world arrive at the AAO Annual Session in San Diego, CA this week, to learn new skills, see the latest technology and network with colleagues. 3M professionals and industry-leading doctors will be at booth #3115 to help orthodontists navigate these topics and help them gain a competitive edge in today’s changing orthodontic landscape.

“The Annual Session’s theme is Navigating Orthodontics: The art, the science, the business, which is exactly what you will find at the 3M booth,” said John Tobin, Director, 3M US sales & marketing. “The art of Clarity™ Advanced Ceramic Brackets, the science of APC™ Flash-Free, the benefits of developing a prevention protocol in orthodonic practices and business building new practice marketing resources – all of these are relevant solutions that can be found in one place at AAO.”

At the booth, orthodontists can participate in demonstrations of the 3M™ APC™ Flash-Free Adhesive Coated Appliance System. They’ll experience first-hand how it reduces placement time by 40% per bracket by eliminating “flash” removal, protects enamel under the adhesive, and has a less than 2% bond failure rate. Additionally, they can speak with industry-leading doctors to learn how they are growing their practices with the superior aesthetics of 3M™ Clarity™ ADVANCED Ceramic Brackets, and how when combined with APC™ Flash Free technology, it is possible to attract new patients while achieving unmatched efficiency in your practice.

Lastly, orthodontists and staff can learn more about prevention protocols, and how to bring even more value to patients by helping them maintain excellent oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. 3M offers solutions for in-office education and treatment with fluoride varnish, such as 3M™ Vanish™ 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish, while helping connect the dots to at-home regimens using prescription products, such as 3M™ Clinpro™ 5000 1.1% Sodium Fluoride Anti-Cavity Toothpaste.
