We're carrying on our streak of orthodontists on the show— this time
we had the chance to talk to Dr. Sean K. Carlson, who is a Board
Certified Orthodontist who lectures worldwide on CBCT. Dr. Carlson gave
us plenty of insight into how the airway and breathing can be
compromised and how orthodontics is the best course of action when
putting together a treatment plan.
Dr. Carlson is the owner and
operator of his practice, Carlson Orthodontics, and he lectures around
the country with Carlson Quintero Seminars.
Dr. Carlson is a Board Certified Orthodontist
who received his dental degree from Harvard University in 1994. There
he was awarded the American Association of Orthodontists Award upon
graduation for demonstrating exceptional interest in the development of
the oro-facial complex. He received both his Orthodontic Specialty
training and his Master of Science degree in Oral Biology from the
University of California at San Francisco in 1998.
Dr. Carlson is
an Associate Professor of Orthodontics at the University of the Pacific
School of Dentistry where he teaches one day a week. He has received
several academic research awards including two American Association of Orthodontists Foundation Awards
and has published numerous articles and abstracts in the orthodontic
literature. He lectures nationally on a variety of clinical and
theoretical subjects. His current lecture schedule focuses on
three-dimensional imaging in orthodontics and the treatment of dental
impactions.
Since 1998, Dr. Carlson has served as a Senior Investigator in the Craniofacial Research and Instrumentation Laboratory
at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. His primary focus
is on using computer technology to improve the way we study, teach and
practice orthodontics. As a result of his research, he has been at the
forefront of 3-D imaging technology since it was first introduced to the
orthodontic profession. He installed Marin County’s first i-CAT 3-D CBCT x-ray machine in 2008.
