Dr. Wise and Dr. Jensen Travel to Boston for the AAO Convention


Dr. Wise and Dr. Jensen of Wise Orthodontics and Stonebridge Orthodontics attended the AAO meeting in Boston. We attended the final lecture of Dr. Vince Kokich, widely considered the finest interdisciplinary teacher of all time. As usual, his material was first rate. Attendees gave him a standing ovation. Also at the AAO were several excellent lectures on cone beam CT imaging. The 3D scans render unparalleled views of teeth and jaw structure. Our office has been using CBCT for over a year now, and we are proud to be offering this advanced diagnostic service to our patients. SureSmile also uses CBCT to treat cases faster and with fewer appointments. We are a SureSmile practice!!

Lots of history was seen in Boston. The Wises traveled to Quincy to see the Adams Family tour. John and John Quincy Adams were actually two of our early presidents who were born in the same house!! But the real force behind their success was John’s wife and John Quincy’s mother, Abigail. She and John reside for all eternity in the stone church on the main square in downtown Quincy. What a sight.

The Freedom Trail was another grand tour we took. The Battle of Bunker Hill actually took place on Breed’s Hill!! I had no idea. No mistake was made; the soldiers in charge just figured (rightly) that Breed’s Hill would be a better hill to defend. And they were right. We lost the battle, but our strong showing helped us win the war against Great Britain.
