Dentofacial Esthetics (eBook)

David M. Sarver, DMD, MS, received his DMD from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry and his MS in Orthodontics from the University of North Carolina. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a member of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists, a Fellow in both the International and American Colleges of Dentists, and a Fellow in the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. In addition to publishing over 70 scientific articles and 20 book chapters, Dr Sarver is the author of Esthetic Orthodontics and Orthognathic Surgery (Elsevier, 1998) and has coauthored several books, including the last three editions of William Proffit's classic textbook, Contemporary Orthodontics (Elsevier, 2018). He has given more than 400 professional presentations worldwide, and he has been featured on several national television programs, including "The Today Show." Dr Sarver maintains a full-time private practice in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Over the course of his career, he developed the technology and subsequent use of digital imaging in orthodontics as both a practice management and diagnostic instrument, introduced diode lasers as an instrumental part of orthodontic therapy, and helped in the development of focal field CBCT with Kodak, computerized data-management systems for diagnosis and treatment planning, and individualized treatment design in bracket manufacture. His entire approach to treatment is to evaluate the macro-esthetics (the face), mini-esthetics (the smile), and micro-esthetics (the teeth) of each patient to determine the problem list, which will in turn drive the treatment plan. A true thinker, Dr Sarver seeks to teach other dental professionals how to work in collaboration with one another to optimize patient outcomes, building beautiful smiles and faces as he goes.
