Canadian Association of Orthodontists annual conference

Orthodontic residents and many UM alumni attended the Canadian Association of Orthodontics (CAO) annual conference in September in Kelowna, B.C.

Dr. Billy Wiltshire, professor and head of orthodontics at the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry, said it was also an excellent opportunity to meet up with alumni from recent, and not so recent years, as well as many academic colleagues and friends to catch up and discuss the latest developments in orthodontics.

The alumni function was generously sponsored by the CAO and our UM alumni hailed from all across Canada and abroad.
