Dr. Hartsock and I went to Vegas!

This weekend, Dr. Hartsock and I had a chance to attend the national Invisalign Summit in Las Vegas. Believe it or not, the best part about the trip was not the endless buffets or all the great people watching I got to do...it was seeing Dr. Hartsock finally get the national recognition he has long deserved. A couple months ago, one of Invisalign's chief consultants contacted Dr. Hartsock with this incredible opportunity, and he could not turn down such an amazing offer.

He prepared his lecture for weeks with hopes that other orthodontists around the country would be able to benefit from his story. What's so intriguing and inspiring about his journey? For starters, it's all about the risk he took several years ago when he stepped out of his comfort zone of treating every case with traditional metal braces and committing to join the orthodontic digital revolution that Invisalign offered. We still offer traditional metal braces as a treatment option and enjoy transforming smiles with them, but Invisalign's clear aligners offers patients several advantages that the modern patient desires. Dr. Hartsock has been at the forefront of the latest technology in the orthodontic field, and it's a great honor for me to be able to learn from him.

Want to hear what he had to say? Of course you do! Over 1,500 orthodontists and staff packed the lecture hall to be inspired by Dr. Hartsock. Check out this highlight video featuring Dr. Hartsock's trip to Vegas. You can find this video and many others on our YouTube channel (Hartsock-Sword Orthodontics).

Enjoy!
