Please Join Us For Our 5th Annual Surgidontics Conference
The Surgidontics team is excited to host our 5th annual Surgidontics Conference. Our conferences are designed around high level academic topics that are immediately applicable within your practice. We keep our meeting small, less than 20 attendees, to cultivate a collaborative environment. The Surgidontics team works hard to curate experiences outside of the lectures for you and a guest from dinners to one of-a-kind activities. There is a growing need for academics in the ortho-surgical field. Patients are becoming more knowledgeable and seeking specific practitioners with very precise goals in mind.
Conference Focus:
Orthognathic Surgery and Orthodontic Aligners
18 CE Credits Provided
Desert Springs Resort & Spa
Resort Amenities
GOLF
Two 18-hole championship style courses set against the towering backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains. Both the Palm and Valley courses were designed by acclaimed architect Ted Robinson, “King of Waterscapes.” Each par-72 golf course is over 6,500 yards catering to golfers of all levels. Offering daily golf clinics, private lessons, group and event packages, and more, Desert Springs Golf Club can create a unique and extraordinary experience.
Tennis & Pickleball
If tennis or pickleball is your game, JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is your ultimate destination. Our breathtaking facility, fabulous weather and unparalleled programming have created our one-of-a-kind reputation as an internationally acclaimed tennis utopia in Palm Desert. Ranked the #4 Best Resort Tennis Facilities in the World, our comprehensive Peter Burwash International (PBI) tennis program has something for every skill level.
SPA
Inspired by the stunning physical, historical and social environments of Palm Desert, the redesign of Spa Desert Springs offers intimacy and privacy throughout with gender separate and co-ed relaxation lounges, Aromatic Hammam, Finnish Sauna, Turkish Steam Room, outdoor saltwater lap pool and Spa Bistro.
Pool
With five outdoor pools to choose from – including a saltwater lap pool, family pool, and chilled Oasis pool – you’ll be sure to beat the desert heat. Stop by Oasis Bar & Grille for poolside bites and cocktails and enjoy the seasonal live entertainment. Elevate your pool experience by booking a cabana or daybed.
Resort Recreation
Set sail daily on one of the electric gondolas for a peaceful tour of the property. Be sure to keep an eye out for the many birds of Desert Springs like Chilean Flamingos, black and white swans, cockatoos and more!
Dining
Ten resort dining outlets deliver a variety of unique culinary experiences, from casual poolside bites to elaborate five-course tasting menus. Each signature restaurant offers innovative menus shaped by high qualify flavor and locally sourced ingredients.
Surgidontics Conference 2024 – MEET OUR SPEAKERS
We are thrilled to have the guru aligner orthodontist, Dr. Mazyar Moshiri, discuss the following topics:
- Optimal cases for aligners in orthognathic surgery
- Surgical cases are not ideal for treatment with aligners
- Adjunctive techniques
- Common pitfalls
We are also pleased to welcome back Dr. Alex Waldman to discuss the optimization of practice systems for patients in aligner therapy. The Surgidontics team always works hard to curate experiences outside of the lectures for you and a guest to enjoy from dinners to one of-a-kind activities in the area. We can’t wait for you to join us, April 4-7, in Palm Springs.
