exhibitors Ortho Tribune U.S. Edition | May 17, 20158 This isn’t your typical ortho case P re-teen Natalie never expect- ed anything but your typical orthodontic routine when she stepped into Dr. Sean Carlson’s office. However, her story is a little dif- ferent. “He did an i-CAT scan and found out that I had a rogue tooth that sort of changed everything!” Natalie said. It turned out that Natalie’s case in- volved a tricky, transmigratory impacted canine in the mandibular jaw. Utilizing the data from an i-CAT scan, a clear path was discovered to bring that tooth into place. “It would have been easier to just re- move that tooth, but with i-CAT 3-D tech- nology, we were able to design a treat- ment plan to save her canine,” said Dr. Carlson, based in Mill Valley, Calif. “It was amazing,” said Natalie’s mother, Laura. “These guys were just wonderful. Being able to see exactly what was going on with the i-CAT was so reassuring, and it made a huge difference.” Natalie and Dr. Carlson’s story is just one you might hear or read in the “Their Story” i-CAT campaign. This growing col- lection of stories illustrates how doctors are using i-CAT imaging to help better patients’ lives every day. “We are very happy to host Dr. Carl- son and Natalie and eager for clinicians to visit with them and discuss their in- spiring story at our booth,” said Jessica Kachmar, marketing manager for i-CAT. “The success of that treatment entailed much hard work and knowledge from Dr. Carlson, effort and energy from Natalie and quality 3-D cone beam scans from i-CAT.” In addition to saving Natalie’s canines, the i-CAT booth has also set its sight on some other canines in need of saving. Here at the AAO, i-CAT has partnered with the Milo Foundation, an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill animal shel- ter in Northern California. Its mission is to provide education, adoption services and sanctuary for animals. John Fonseca, outreach coordinator for the Milo Foun- dation will be at the booth today, and at- tendees can get their photos taken with some cute and cuddly puppies. “We are also appreciative of the hu- manitarian work done for needy ani- mals by The Milo Foundation, and i-CAT will be donating to this worthy cause,” Kachmar said. Here at the AAO Stop by the i-CAT booth, No. 2037, to learn more about the story of Dr. Sean Carlson and his patient Natalie and to get your picture taken with the Milo Foundation dogs.
