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.
