About Us
Dr. Salvatore Lotardo and Dr. Marina Ambridge have been working together on complex cosmetic cases for many years. They both have extensive education and experience in orthodontics and implants. They recognized that cosmetic dentists have general apprehension towards using orthodontics in their practices, which hindered their cosmetic dentistry outcomes. This has led them to come up with specific orthodontic techniques using braces, which could be easily learned and applied by cosmetic dentists in-house. Dr. Lotardo and Dr. Ambridge formed a team to create a comprehensive two-day hands-on course to teach such techniques to cosmetic dentists, who want to take more control as well as lower the time and costs of their cosmetic procedures.

You will also learn new ways to use photography in your practice to showcase your improved results. Free continuing mentoring for the first five orthodontic cases involving implementation of techniques taught in the course will be provided as a special promotion to those taking the course in 2020 for a full year after the course date.
Implementing orthodontics into your restorative, implant, and cosmetic dentistry is essential for achieving successful outcomes.
