3D e-Book: The future learning and teaching

It is always a great blessing to have mentors in your professional life. 27 years ago, I was lucky enough to have learned Class III treatment from Dr. John Lin, who I consider to be a real expert in this field. Five years later, I had the privilege to study for my PhD and Orthodontics Certificate at Indiana University. Dr. Gene Roberts became and has remained my mentor and godfather ever since then and has successfully redesigned my orthodontic gene.

For the past 10 years, the non-surgical approach to skeletal Class III treatment has evolved to a level that I never believed would have been possible. Buccal shelf mini-screws have played a crucial role in this extraordinary treatment modality. My best friend, Dr. Johnny Liaw certainly deserves the credit, as he proposed this extra-radicular insertion method in buccal shelves 10 years ago. Since then, Dr. Lin and I have adopted and modified this method, so that consequently, we have been able to enjoy treating challenging Class III malocclusions.

There is probably no better way to learn about orthodontics than studying well documented cases based on a solid theoretical foundation and scientific evidence. Following the suggestion of Dr. Roberts, Dr. Lin, Dr. Liaw and I decided to take this a step further, and using the most creative software, iBooks Author, we are now publishing our Class III treatment recipe. It is by far the most exciting way to understand other professionals' concepts of treatment. It is truly innovative and truly simple.

Be forewarned - if you pick up this 3D e-book, your perception of reading and learning will never be the same again!
