Did you get the message Dr. Creekmore tried to deliver in the posted interview? Or was it 2 hard to grasp all of his thoughts? we need to explain it more? Did torque control in recent years change since the 70s?
Orthodontics is the art and science of creating beautiful smiles using natural teeth. The quest is how can we achieve this in the simplest fastest and easiest way with less discomfort and inconvenience to the patient.

Are u .018 or .022 slot orthodontist?
Everyone who worked with me knows I'm an advocate of .018 slot yet in this particular case i chose a .022 slot. So let's open it 4 discussion which slot do u prefer and why?
My input about the management of the orthodontic case presented
The case i posted was treated 10 years ago, amazingly, nothing is new in our field that would make me change the way i managed this case. Let's see how i did it.

How to present an orthodontic case
The most important thing is how you prepare and present your case,
a treatment plan that shows only an extraction or non- extraction choice is not
sufficient to treat the case. We have to treat the patient with the end in
mind, so, I added this guide to case presentation which if we follow the
treatment will be easier and smoother.
