In June Dr Peter Vaughan gave a presentation at the European Orthodontic Society Annual Conference. This is a very big honor that few orthodontists in private practice receive, it is an even greater honor when Dr Vaughan is an Australian and not a European. The presentation was received enthusiastically with many orthodontists saying it was outstanding as the information presented was practical, not theoretical, and they could take home ideas which they could use in their practice everyday to improve the care of their patients.
