Five years! I have been traveling to Rockwall every month for over 5 years now! In 2013 Robert Allen gave me the opportunity to assist in teaching his 12 session class for the Academy of GP Orthodontics in Rockwall. It has been a tremendous experience. We’ve all heard the saying “watch one, do one, teach one”. Well, being involved in teaching this class has really helped me to understand Differential Straight Wire (Tip Edge) Orthodontics. I’ve also meet a lot of great people. Dr. Allen’s approach to orthodontics has taught me a lot.
Starting this fall, I’ll only be helping to teach one of the two concurrent classes with Dr. Allen. That means only traveling to Rockwall every other month. Dr. Jennifer Rand will be picking up the new class starting in the fall. She is currently taking the 12 session class and working as an associate to Dr. Ron Austin in Oklahoma, a mentor to both Dr. Allen and myself. Robert and I are both looking forward to collaborating with her.
