Delivering a Positive Message

Volume 49 : Number 12 : Page 741 : Dec 2015

In this issue of JCO, we present the third and final installment of our series on the 2015 JCO Orthodontic Practice Study. It seems fitting, as I write this during the holiday season, to proclaim some glad tidings. The good news is a marked rise in the percentages of practices reporting increases in both case starts and gross income compared to the previous year - even higher than respondents to the 2013 Study had predicted, reaching a level of growth we have not seen since the 2001 Study.

50 Weeks to Our 50th

Volume 51 : Number 5 : Page 257 : May 2017

Like almost every U.S. orthodontist, JCO maintains a Facebook page as one means of connecting with its customer base—in your case, patients; in ours, readers.

Gottlieb JCO Student of the Year Award (the most recent winner was announced in the March 2017 issue), no doubt because of these students’ extended networks of relatives and colleagues. But the 50th-anniversary year of the journal has brought us an opportunity for a new and unique Facebook venture.
