"“The (g)nathos program is a very special presentation. The most unique quality of this program is the members who attend because of their avid interest. I spoke to two of these groups and I can honestly say that I have never had a more enthusiastic audience. Certainly, it is only fair to say that this program is built on quality and Gerry Samson deserves accolades for his efforts with this fine organization.”"

“Thanks to our colleagues in bone biology and prosthodontics, implants are a reality. Decades of research provide a convincing biological rationale for an application to clinical orthodontics. In other words, given a desire to preserve anchorage, there is good reason to believe that TADs ought to work. In the end, I predict that their use will let us move teeth where we want and, in so doing, demand that we return to an era of individualized ‘diagnosis’ and treatment planning. In practical terms, their use may well prove to be the foundation of evidence-based, 21st Century orthodontics.”

“Going to the CMDD Orthodontic Course is one of the singular best things I have done for my professional career. The course provided the dedicated time to solidify my training in growth and development, biomechanics as well as orthodontic techniques with an outstanding and gifted teacher. Dr. Samson’s course is truly evidence-based, constantly being updated and technically enhanced. He has a special gift to teach while being incredibly entertaining. The course is more than learning growth and development and biomechanics; it provides the unique opportunity to interact with other (g)nathos participants, who are incredibly bright and talented colleagues from all over the world.

Dr. Samson has created a network of colleagues, who will go the extra mile to help each other to provide excellent dental care for pediatric patients as well as taking care of our own health and families. CMDD is truly something special.”

“Fantastic job Gerry - this should have been done a long  time ago. Using your example, I’ve heard other ‘gurus‘ say that the the flipped bracket should be repositioned (flipped again)once it has achieved its new position (after 12 weeks) in order to not give the tooth too much facial root torque. I have always left my brackets without re-flipping again and haven’t noticed any excessive torquing issues. Cheers!”

“You’ve made a very difficult subject far easier to understand and compute.

Still think I’m going to watch Locomotion 1 a few dozen more times!!”

“During my 20 year involvement with (g)nathos I’ve learned to believe in and enjoy the pursuit of excellence. These multi-faceted goals are not limited to pediatric growth, development, diagnosis and treatment planning. In addition to treatment excellence, (g)nathos meetings include the refinement of communication skills along with practice management and personal growth. These attributes are shared among instructors and participants.

Reflected knowledge and experience between (g)nathos members helps all of us achieve our goals of excellence and compassion for our patients.”

”For more than 15 years it has been my pleasure to associate with the (g)nathos organization and Dr. Gerry Samson. Originally, I completed the CMDD course. Since that time I’ve regularly attending the advanced continuing education courses with Gerry every year. My association with (g)nathos has been both progressive and enlightening. This experience has improved my ability to practice evidence based pediatric dentistry, the orthodontic services that I choose to provide and my communication with orthodontic specialists.”

“It would be very frustrating and time consuming to try to learn these concepts by a textbook only.  The hands on exercises and the Big Tooth make these concepts much easier to understand.”

“Even though I had seen this topic ’live’ the online CE was a great review because I could pause the video and take notes without missing anything.  It is an ideal supplement to the live experience!”
