The recog- nition was awarded to Dr Mercedez Revenaz, Orthodontics Specialist from Italy. Revenaz said, “The digital edition of the Invisalign Scientifi c Symposium, in my opinion, was a revelation in terms of the impact. The event was informative and was likely watched more carefully than any other live event. This is easy to explain, as it was followed by doctors who use the Invisalign system, are digital natives, and believe in the power of digital technology. It could only be a success! We all hope that, in the near future, if the conditions are right, in- ternational events can be at least a hybrid, with the possibility of being followed live but also via the Web.” For additional information about the Invisalign system or to fi nd an Invis- align doctor in your area, please visit www.invisalign.com.
