The AEO lecture Series will be held at the Double Tree Guest Suites, Houston Texas

This year´s AEO clinical program will be held at the Navarro Orthodontix facility in Houston, Texas. This new venue features a seminar room with state-of-the-art technical facilities and clinic in which patient care, consultation, laboratory and auxiliary support provide a well-designed, modern space to host our program.


 

Outside of class, the AEO course puts one of America´s most culturally diverse metropolitan areas right outside your door. Called "a world-class food scene with a rising generation of culinary stars" by the New York Times, Houston offers more than 8,000 restaurants with culinary choices representing more than 35 countries and American regions. But dining is just the beginning. From the Houston Museum District to the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center to the electric and eclectic nightlife, downtown Houston is certain to surprise, enchant and delight.


 


 

Our purpose is to help the conscientious orthodontic specialist achieve consistently high quality orthodontic results for their patients.


 

The objective of this program is to provide the practicing orthodontist with basic knowledge regarding occlusion and the TMJ as applied to diagnosis, treatment planning and execution of treatment, through and beyond the retention period.


 

The leaders have a combined 35 year teaching history with the Roth/Williams philosophy and techniques. Dr. Bob Williams, co-founder of the Roth/Williams Center, will also participate in certain sessions. The skill and knowledge, once learned, will make the practitioner more confident and more able to complete cases on his or her terms without compromising treatment. This will give the orthodontist the needed "edge" to successfully practice and implement not only good practice management, also good ?risk management.
