he Academy of Gp Orthodontic's 35th Annual Meeting in Clearwater Beach, FL was a huge success; the event was held Sept. 21-23 at the Wyndham Grand Hotel. The AGpO Annual Meeting is one part confer-ence and one part community gath-ering. Members enjoyed connecting with old friends and learned so T much from the experts who presented at the sessions. Educational topics included refreshing and improving orthodon-tic skills, new techniques, etiology/treatment of Class II, successful integration of clear align-ers, and how oral dysbiosis initiates systemic illness and what you can do to help patients. AGpO would like to sincerely thank our outgoing President, Dr. Bert Nunez, for serving the Academy this past year. Your contributions and lead-ership are valued and appreciated.
