I would like to take this
opportunity to invite you to
become part of our continuing
education program. I have been
teaching Dentists Orthopaedics,
Orthodontics and T.M.J. therapy
for over 25 years and found these
concepts invaluable for developing
a modern day practice. The courses
are designed for General Dental
Practitioners to implement a
practical and progmatic approach
to your patients orthodontic
needs.
Dr. Truitt received his B.S.
degree from Texas Christian
University and his D.D.S. degree
from Baylor University. He has
maintained a full time practice in
Gainesville, Texas since 1967. Dr
Truitt has co-authored four text
books and published numerous
papers worldwide.
