How a mother’s instinct and a 3D scan led to a last-minute, non-extraction orthodontic plan in a 10-year-old patient.
Upon walking out of a new patient consultation, Dr. Dischinger found his front desk coordinator waiting for him – there was a mother in the waiting room who urgently needed to speak with him.
The mother and daughter were on their way to an oral surgeon for a scheduled extraction of the child’s maxillary canines, but the mother was having second thoughts.
She provided a print-out of a two-dimensional panoramic image that upon review, Dr. Dischinger concluded did not provide adequate diagnostic information for the prescribed treatment plan.
Dr. Bill Dischinger maintains private practices in Lake Oswego and Canby, Oregon, in the United States. He has lectured and taught all over the world and is recognized as an expert on many subjects within the specialty of orthodontics.
He is a Key Opinion Leader for both Ormco and Propel Orthodontics and is an adjunct professor at the University of the Pacific Department of Orthodontics in San Francisco, California. Dr. Dischinger has written a book and published numerous articles on a variety of subjects within the specialty of orthodontics.
He completed his dental training at Oregon Health Sciences University in 1997 and his orthodontic residency at Tufts University in Boston in 1999. He and his wife, Kari Lynn, have been married for over 25 years and have four sons.
