Having always steered away from clear aligners
and only stuck with fixed braces, I’ve finally
decided to give aligners a go this year. BOSS is
extremely practical, informative and backed up
by heaps of research. Dr. V is a great mentor,
she’s always helpful and truthful. The team at
BOSS and CCC smiles are just amazing, always
there to help you whenever you need, even if
it was a question that’s been repetitively asked
many many times. I would highly recommend
BOSS to anyone who wishes to start their
journey in digital orthodontics. With Dr. V and
her team behind me, my confidence level is
soooo much higher and I feel like I am delivering
my treatment to a higher standard and overall
making me a better clinician. Thank you Dr. V!!

AT BOSS WE BELIEVE
   IN EDUCATION AND
   BEYOND
Raising funds, raising smiles
As part of its partnership with the charity Smile Train, a portion of every
BOSS course enrolment fee is donated to help deliver free corrective
surgery for a child born with cleft lip and palate in a developing country.
Since 2018 BOSS has already donated over $10,000, which will
transform the lives of children around the world by funding their cleft
repair surgeries.

Local skills for global outcomes
By training local medical professionals in developing countries to
operate on cleft, Smile Train is able to administer free cleft surgery and
comprehensive cleft care every day. This is a safe and sustainable way
of providing ongoing quality cleft treatment for a fraction of what it would
cost a mission group.

Brightening futures
Cleft repair restores not only a child’s face, but also their fate because,
left untreated, they will face a lifetime of hurdles in terms of education,
employment, and social acceptance. Smile Train can do for these children
what their impoverished parents cannot.
Supporting Smile Train is a natural extension of BOSS’s philosophy of
spreading more smiles around the world, and we are proud that with
every course enrolment we can continue helping this incredibly worthy
cause. For more information on the wonderful work of Smile Train, go to
smiletrain.org

CASE STUDIES
FROM BOSS PAST ATTENDEES

CASE STUDY: Dr Annem Chaudhary, PGDip Dig. Orth. (UK) 2019 graduate
This patient used to be a thumb sucker and continued right on through till she turned 11. Her mother wanted
to restore her daughter’s confidence and 6 months into treatment with Invisalign aligners has already got her
grinning from ear to ear. She’s got a way to go still, but what a dramatic result so far! Dr Annem said ‘I’m really
enjoying the impact BOSS has had on my treatment for kids!’

                                CASE STUDY: Dr Luca Pomare, PGDip Dig. Orth. (UK) 2019 graduate
                                Congratulations to Dr Luca for this well executed and finished case correcting
                                an anterior crossbite of 16 year old with clear aligners in just 6 months! Well
                                done on improving your orthodontic photography techniques at the end as
                                well. Dr Luca is an avid learner of dentistry and we were glad to support his
                                entry into orthodontics with BOSS courses. Join our 2020 Postgraduate
                                Diploma in Digital Orthodontics and get going with impeccable treatments for
                                your aligner patients!

CASE STUDY: Dr Vandana Katyal
Adult case treated with Invisalign. Treatment plan was to
distalise upper left quadrant to allow upper left canine eruption.
No TADs were required. Evidence shows that aligners are very
predictable when moving upper molars bodily by 2-3mm. Be
careful you don’t use TADs unnecessarily, be a biologically
sensitive practitioner and understand evidence-based Clear
Aligner Biomechanics.

Dr Katyal shares so much of her own protocol
and is extremely generous not only with her
time but with the well thought out information
she provides along with the course such as
inventory lists, marketing material and case
presentation templates. She tailors her advice to
your own experience and helps with appropriate
case selection, points out possible pitfalls and
helps you understand how to overcome them.
The course is also up-to-date using the latest
technologies in orthodontics and is heavily
evidence-based.

I would recommend it to anyone wanting to start
doing some orthodontic treatment or looking for
a more comprehensive course to assist in some
ortho they are already doing.

RAVING REVIEW FROM PAST ATTENDEE

 I joined BOSS in 2018 for the full year, and the wealth of knowledge that Vandana shares
 is immeasurable! This course is perfect for absolute beginners and also those with more
 experience, and Vandana caters it perfectly for the whole group. All her information is
 evidence based and very relatable for general dentists, giving you information that those
 “generic” 1-3 day clear aligner courses cannot give you. BOSS is a very comprehensive
 course. I highly recommend it, I plan to join BOSS again!
