I contacted everyone who may have been involved with developing the original brochure but alas no one has claimed ownership of the original slides of the malocclusions shown. Mark has scanlled the images from a pink brochure and he claims to have produced a quite good result. I'am going to use Ormco or Unitek images to replace the clear braces picture and also the model. To date Mark Hart has been doing work for us in between other jobs, to keep the cost down. Unfortunately his company been very busy lately which has put the brochures back a bit. Hopefully I will have something to show you at the meeting. 2. The "Orthodontics - What you need to know" brochure is also being worked on by Mark. The tear-off page has been dropped and I am fine-tuning some of the text to remove anything slightly contentious, to ensure it will be palatable by most members. I share Martin Kean's views on the "Relapse" section, and have rewritten it under a heading "Possible change after treatment". 3. I have had good feedback from Sandra at Ormco and Gaby at 3M Unitek about using images and text from their promotional material. Both companies have recently produced CDs containing all their images. Both have agreed to send me a copy and let us use the images contained on them. The CDs have to come via the US and I am awaiting their arrival. 4. Other possible brochures that we might provide for members: a) "Simple Removable Appliances". - How they work, how to care for them, and First Aid etc) b) "Quad Helix Expansion Appliance". (Upper and Lower) - How they work, how to care for them, and First Aid etc. c) Rapid Expansion Appliances". How they work, care for them, and First Aid etc. d) "What is Functional Orthodontics". e) How to choose the proper person to straighten your teeth. This is a possible title for the reworked "Smile Doctor" brochure. It would be useful for SDTs to give to parents. f) "Braces - What you must do." The aim of this brochure will be to provide information on oral hygiene, diet, wearing elastics, and first aid. Could use images and text from Ormco's "At Home" CD. g) "Retention." This will describe the correct use and care of removable and fixed retainers and the importance of the retention phase of treatment. h) "After Orthodontic Treatment" It could cover issues such as wisdom teeth and the fact that teeth may not remain straight for life. It will clarify the time any fixed wires should remain (a space could be left for customization by each member) and mention that any future posttreatment checks and removal of retainer wires might incur charges. The more brochures we have floating around peoples homes with the NZAO logo on them, the quicker it will become the synonymous with orthodontics in NZ. 5.Should we consider an 0800 phone number, to use in Yellow pages, website, magazines etc? Not every parent is comfortable with using a website to check us out. Staff of the current secretary or of the EO could be assigned to answer it and provide information, details of addresses, redirect complaints, send out information brochures etc. 0800 4 NZAO is available. It could be trialled initially. The cost would be: Min usage: Local call: Regional: Nth Is: Sth Is: Cell ph: Flat rate: $35/month 5c/min 15c/min 35c/min 45c/min S5c/min 39c/min 6. The Channel Advertising/3M competition has closed and a winner will soon be chosen, with follow-up articles published. I recently provided something short for an article in the last issue of Health wise /Woman Today. They wanted something to keep the orthodontic message to the fore until the competition deadline expired. They didn't give me much notice, so I sent them the following text taken from the website and from what Donna had previously sent them. Children and adults can both benefit from orthodontics, because healthy teeth can be moved at almost any age. Because monitoring growth and development is crucial to managing some orthodontic problems well, the NZAO recommends that all children have an orthodontic screening no later than age 7. Some orthodontic problems may be easier to correct if treated early. Waiting until all the permanent teeth have come in, or until facial growth is nearly complete, may make correction of some problems more difficult. Orthodontic treatment is usually complicated and like all medical treatment it is very important that it is carried out properly. If the problem is quite simple, your family dentist may be able to treat it. However, Orthodontist. If you orthodontic problem Orthodontist. in most cases you should be referred to an have any doubt as to the severity of an you should seek the opinion of an There are approximately 70 orthodontists in New Zealand many of whom travel to the provincial areas, thus making access to services relatively easy for most people. Almost all are members of the New Zealand Association of Orthodontists and the New Zealand Dental Association, and work within strict Codes of Practice, which ensures quality advice and service. New Zealand orthodontists are proud of the services they provide and are held in ~ery high regard throughout the world. To find an orthodontist in your area, look under "orthodontists' in the yellow pages or visit the New Zealand Association of Orthodontists (NZAO) website at www.orthodontists.org.nz 7. After dehberation T decided that the "Family Times" newspaper was not good value for us at the moment and so did not proceed with an article for them. 8. Mike Courtney & Trevor Leigh are worn out from the tribunal stuff, but they are going to re-write the Smile Doctor brochure for us, and will work with the Marketing committee on this. They will also work with us on a small yellow pages ad, to make it possible for it to have NZAO endorsement and for members to use it if they so wish. Probably telecom with provide set up free, and then up to members to pay for its use in their local directory. We shall ask NZDC to approve the ad before we use it. It will contain NZAO website, possible 0800 number, and also mention how to contact Dental Council etc. 9. T have discussed the origins of the yellow ex-ASO poster with Gaby from 3M and she is getting back to me about the possibility of printing more. 10. T asked Leanne Miller to keep in touch with me re possible media exposure for us at the September conference. Her reply was: I've attached a copy of my original email to Wayne, an idea of what we're doing in terms of PRo so that you can get We're waiting to receive feedback from our speakers regarding their presentation content. If one of the orthodontic presenters comes up with something new and interesting, then we may achieve media coverage, but unfortunately I can't promise anything. The media are really only interested in new technology (for example, the introduction of laser dentistry got a lot of coverage a few years ago). Hope that doesn't sound too negative, but I think we need to be realistic about what the media will pick up on. We'll certainly be doing our best to try and leverage as much coverage as possible from the conference. Kind regards Leanne 11.1 am keen to use a high profile good quality family magazine\ for our next major article. NEXT would be my first choice. Next is published by ACP Media, the same company that publishes About Kids. Could place article in its Health or Family Section. I have made preliminary enquiries about costs. Next will only do advertorials so we shall have·to pay, although they will give us a 5 - 10 % discount. Costs are: Whole page: $6,250 + GST (less discount), plus cost of any copywriting (approx $1,000 for 350 - 500 words) 1 reckon we can do most of this ourselves. We can dictate which section a whole page goes in. Unfortunately anything smaller could end up being put anywhere in magazine. Before you panic about costs, I have discussed possibility of Ormco and 3M providing sponsorship money for this. Gaby and Sandra are both interested, but they feel it should be ajoint sponsorship between the main players (Ormco, 3M, Andrew Binns, Arthur Hall, American Orthodontics). 3m have already contributed a lot to the Channel Advertising promotion, but they will help us on this one also. If we are interested I will need to get a quote f'rom NEXT and do a draft to present to them all. 1/4 page (20cm X 3 columns) 150 words: $750 + GST in two papers or $400 + GST in one. To cover all of Auckland would cost approx $2,500 1/2 page (20cm X 7 columns) 300 words: $1750 + GST in two, $1029 + GST in one paper. 13.1 am going to investigate to possibility of overprinting posters from Ormco, Unitek, AO etc with NZAO logo & website etc, for distibution to SDTs to decorate their surgeries as I know they are desperate for dental posters etc. Alternatively we could do our own poster - keep it simple with a nice smiley braces photo and NZAO logo and website etc. Could have section for local orthos own ph numbers etc. Mark Hart says these cost about $2 - $3 each depending on if we print 300 or 500. Anything above, plus Budget for next year. We should continue to grow slowly, but need to set a budget for next 12 months, preferably before AGM. I would like to include: a) The cost of setting up and printing the brochures: "Orthodontics Today" "Orthodontics - What you need to know." Any other important brochures b) Next magazine article. We will have to contribute something towards this. c) Printing more Yellow ASO posters, if wanted, or produce or own. d) Cost of having NZAO stand at our next conference, providing we have enough material on offer. e) 0800 ph number, but may need to wait until EO is appointed.

To be further discussed at next meeting. Report to Committee NZAO Report. Membership, Wayne H Dalley, Karen Brook, Mike Courtney. This sub-committee has had three tele-meeting to review the Bill. The Bill is a large document (180+ pages) and can be said to be exciting reading. We have divided our review into sections and are making good progress. It is our intention to review the entire bill by te1e-meeting and then to have a face-to-face meeting to put together a draft submission for the committee to review. In reviewing the document we have agreed NZAO's objectives should be: .1 Title protection 2 Registration of specialists 3 Discipline requirements fair to specialists 4 Competency and accountability 5 Limiting complex ortho to Ortho's. To be argued on the basis of public protection. We have also agreed there would be advantages in initiating consultation with other parties who have an interest in the Bill. This would include NZDA, other dental and medical speciality groups. Preliminary contact with NZDA has been made but no meetings currently planned. The purpose of the Act is the protection of the public by assuring practitioners are competent to practice. Unfortunately what constitutes competency has not been defined. This places re-registration requirements and competency programmes that may be requires somewhat empirical rather that objective. There is the provision allowing the Dental Authority (the old DCNZ) to require re-registration programmes. We would see the NZAO Accreditation programme fitting into these requirements. The Bill also allows the Authority to randomly audit any practice, which we support. We are concerned the membership of the Dental Authority is to be totally appointed by the Minister. We support the maintenance of a mixture of appointed and voted membership. Title protection is present but there may be an option enabling a down-grading of the specialist registration requirements. The Bill allows registration requirements to be based on qualifications or experience, not qualifications and experience. Matters of discipline require the evaluation by a practitioners peer, however the definition of a peer is inappropriate. Currently it could be a dentist: SDT or dental technician. Obviously inappropriate. We are also concerned with some Dental Tribunal requirements. Recommendations. That the Committee approve discussions being initiated with groups outlined above. Report l.Alas, despite searching numerous photo libraries, haven't yet found kiwi-type photos for the covers of the "Orthodontics Today" and "Orthodontics - What you need to know" brochures. Am hoping to finalise something soon. I have got Deb onto the job with Mark Hart and they are working on it right now. 2. The_ASO has decided to use the arrival of "Invisalign" for a local newspaper advertorial campaign. We will need to get ready to do similar marketing, and I intend to get the committee to work on this soon. We shall also need to add comment about clear plastic " positioner" appliances in the "Orthodontics Today" brochure before it is finalized. 3. I hope to have face-to-face discussions with Ormco, Unitek, AB etc at the conference about levels of sponsorship, especially for a NEXT article. Following this we shall come up with a possible article for their approval. The Ormco and Unitek CDs have arrived and Mark is going to use what he can from them. 4. The Channel Advertising/3M competition winner has been chosen and is now under treatment with Mike Schultze. It was announced in the latest Healthwise newspaper, printed last week and included on the same page is something Kris Herbert, journalist, wrote about Ortho improving self-esteem. I edited it and added something about the need to see a specialist etc. Once again they only gave me a few day's notice, so hope its ok. The same page is to be published in Woman Today, which is out at the end of the month. The end result was: When braces change looks, they can change outlooks, too. Beautiful, healthy smiles are the most obvious benefit of orthodontics. Another outcome, increased self-confidence, may be less evident. The value of an attractive smile should not be underestimated. A person's selfesteem often improves as treatment brings teeth, lips and face into proportion. In this way, orthodontic treatment can benefit social and career success, as well as improve one's general attitude toward life. Braces can improve self-esteem at any age. Since adolescence, Juliet Sturnes had automatically covered her mouth whenever she talked to someone. At age 47, she finally made up her mind to see an orthodontist. "It's a miracle, she says. "Today, I don't mind walking up to people and saying, 'Hi, how are you doing?' And I look them straight in the eye!" A better-looking bite usually works better, too. Crooked and crowded teeth are also hard to clean and maintain. This may contribute to conditions that cause not only tooth decay but also eventual gum disease and tooth loss. Other orthodontic problems can contribute to abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, trauma to teeth and gum tissue, and inefficient chewing function. When left untreated some orthodontic problems become worse. Treatment by a specialist to correct the original problem is often less costly than the additional dental care required to treat more serious problems that can develop in later years. During the last decade, the specialty of orthodontics has quietly undergone a technQlogical revolution. Better knowledge, new materials and techniques have been developed that can make braces less noticeable, improve patient comfort and, in some cases, reduce treatment time and help control costs. Be aware that orthodontic problems that seem straight forward on the surface, are often really quite complicated. If you or your child are thinking of having any kind of orthodontic treatment, it pays to discuss your problems and options with a specialist in this field, called an Orthodontist. In New Zealand Orthodontists are the only dentists allowed by law to be specialists in orthodontics. The knowledge base to become an Orthodontist is huge. You must first train to be a dentist, and after working as general dentist for a time, you must be accepted to attend a university that trains orthodontists. These courses are very intense and require a dentist to give up dentistry to concentrate on full-time study for three years. During this time a thesis will be prepared on some aspect of orthodontic research, and exams will be passed. You can thus be assured that the certificates hanging in an orthodontist's rooms mean something. They mean that the orthodontist has the knowledge and skill to tackle the many complicated orthodontic problems found in people's mouths, so as to produce the best result for each individual. They also have the ability to understand the research and developments that are continually taking place in this interesting and complicated field of dentistry. Be aware that some general dentists display certificates that imply that they have had training in orthodontics, but they only certify attendance at short non-university courses, so they only provide the very briefest of knowledge compared to that which an Orthodontist learns in three years of full-time study. On top of this, Orthodontists must only practice orthodontics, to ensure that they maintain their knowledge and skill in this complicated field. For more information on orthodontics, or how to find an OrthQdontist in your area, look up "Orthodontists" in the Yellow pages, or visit the New Zealand Association of Orthodontists' website at It is expected that another 4 or 5 articles will be published about the winners' progress through treatment, with more contributions from the marketing cornrn. E. Haven't heard form Leanne Miller about media interest in Ortho at the conference so I assume we won't be needed. 6. The request by a Hamilton dental practice for copying some of our website material has ~ade me realise that we probably need to copyright our "website" logo, as well as ensuring the contents are copyright. I am not in favour of non-members copying any of our material. :\fore discussion about this at the meeting. 7. I think the marketing budget for next year should be set by the incoming sub-committee. \Ve shall also need to incorporate the costs of the website in the marketing budget. <!nwn <),' ureal, Ii \Ii ngs C,'ooked teeth "nn ~dso be more difficult for ycHtr chmtist to _:.!. ·.:·:·l:lll utt:,'H('tiv~ ::lilli!\.' :)11\}nl(~I1lll - _ 2:'E"."timaled, M~lIlY lwoph.' thc~f.;' ~::d lD[ ol' lime ~H1dmont''.v DH '; :llelr 1';1('ial UPP(';l\·anCt~ tlJ1"\'tlgh l'ep:dr VIl!th n l'il1ill~OJ' el'rn'l."n.
