Technology, the ageing population, regulation: pondering the future of orthodontics

I’ll be speaking at next week’s BOS conference in Manchester and, with Ashley Latter, networking for most of the day – so please come over and say “hello” if you see the Two Reds hunched over a laptop (we’ll be plotting world domination and messing about with our podcasting software).

Dental Tribune asked me to pen some thoughts on the orthodontic market for a supplement they are creating for the conference.

A link to the publication (and the article) online is here:

However, if reading online newspapers ain’t your thing, I’m including here a PDF version of my article:

DTUK0717_20_OrthoTrends

It’s a 5-minute read and, as usual, I hope to make my readers stop and think for a moment, about how current trends will affect them.

Enjoy.

  1. This is one of my fave blog posts in ages. Some of it is UK specific – Brexit and all that – but much of it is fundamental to anywhere western world I reckon.
