Mother of Pearls Conference 2021 Speakers

Having earned his B.S. degree in Zoology from Clemson University in 1979, Dr. Miller went on to receive his DMD degree in 1983 from The Medical University of South Carolina. After dental school, Dr. Miller completed an orthodontic residency at the Medical College of Virginia in 1985.

After completing his orthodontic residency, Dr. Miller served proudly in the USAF where he was Chief of Orthodontics at Clark Air Base in the Philippines for three years. Dr. Miller began practicing in Culpeper Virginia in 1988 and became a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics in 1992. He later voluntarily recertified in 2006.  Dr. Miller is a past president of the Virginia Association of Orthodontics (1995). He is a pioneer in the area of orthopedic correctors, having developed the Flip Lock™ Herbst device in the early 1990′s. Recently, Dr. Miller assisted in the development of the Esprit™ spring and now lectures worldwide on this latest, most technologically advanced Class II corrector, including the latest, 3D metal printed fixed class II correctors.

Since his initial work with the Flip Lock™ Herbst, Dr. Miller has been an innovator in several other areas of orthodontics. He has lectured throughout the world to many orthodontists seeking creative new ideas to better serve their patients, and currently enjoys lecturing to orthodontic residents throughout the US. His current lecture topics are precision bracket placement, temporary anchorage devices (TAD’s), Class II correctors (Esprit™), office system efficiency, improving staff relations, and treatment protocols for unique orthodontic appliances.  More recently, Dr. Miller moved to Park City Utah and started a new practice with his wife, and continues to work closely with Opal Orthodontics in the development of the new Esprit Class II corrector.

Dr. Miller is the author of numerous professional publications in orthodontics. He holds membership in the American Association of Orthodontists, the World Orthodontic Federation, the Southern Association of Orthodontics, Virginia Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Virginia Dental Association, and the Northern Virginia Dental Society, and the Leader of the Spear Study Club of Northern Virginia. He is also a member of the Northern Virginia Orthodontic Study Club.  More recently, Dr. Miller joined The Angle Society North Atlantic component after presenting original research to fellow members in Barcelona Spain, March 2012 http://anglenorthatlantic.org/.  His research was later published in The Angle Orthodontist in May 2013.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Miller has developed and integrated marketing software (www.contentLAVA.com), designed to curate Facebook content to share engaging content for social media sites promoting orthodontic practices.  This interest recently has attracted him to speak at orthodontic conferences where he is recognized as an innovator in social media in the dental care space.

A new technology was developed from an unprecedented collaboration among the top orthodontic and engineering research programs at the University of Southern California (USC) that brings together the latest advancements in digital treatment planning algorithms, artificial intelligence, biomaterial science, and direct digital manufacturing technology. By using a unique friction-free force delivery system in a new custom designed lingual orthodontic device, this digital technology sets a new standard in aesthetic orthodontics in treatment efficiency, precision, and ease of use in the 21st century.

After this lecture you will be able to:

• Learn how the INBRACE system treats various malocclusions successfully
• Learn how you can differentiate your practice from the commoditization of clear aligner therapy
• Mobilize your practice in the face of a changing orthodontic landscape
