The 50th Moyers Symposium and the Centennial Celebration of Orthodontics at Michigan

---

The 50th Annual Moyers Symposium will be held in Ann Arbor on March 3-5, 2023.

2023 is a big year for Orthodontics at the University of Michigan. We will host the 50th Moyers Symposium with a 3-day event that features 17 outstanding speakers from around the nation and world. We know that many topics in orthodontics have varying viewpoints and perspectives, even among the experts. The Moyers Symposium has always been a place for presentation of clinically relevant evidence, and lively discussion by speakers and attendees. This 50th Moyers Symposium is anticipated to be educational, spirited and fun, in traditional Moyers Symposium fashion (as ever).

Three keynote lectures will be presented, one at the start of each day. The first will be provided on Friday morning by Dr. Peter Buschang (Gaylord Endowed Chair in Orthodontics and Regent’s Professor, Texas A&M University), who will speak on the influence TADs in orthodontic care, including the introduction of a novel promising new design. On Saturday morning, Dr. Lucia Cevidanes (Graber Endowed Professor, University of Michigan) will provide her expert perspective on the influence that 3D imaging has had on the practice of orthodontics and what she anticipates in our future. Dr. Ambrosina Michelotti (Editor of Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research and Professor of Orthodontics, University of Naples) will provide historical perspective and up to date evidence on optimal management of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) in orthodontic patients on Sunday morning.

2023 is also the Centennial Year of Orthodontics at Michigan. Yes, we have been in this game for 100 years! To celebrate, we will host an evening reception at “The Big House Skyboxes” on Saturday evening for UM Alumni and Friends, including Moyers Symposium attendees. This will provide an additional opportunity to network, interact with speakers, and enjoy time with classmates, colleagues and friends. We do hope you will join us.

The Moyers Symposium honors Dr. Robert E Moyers, the former chair of the Department of Orthodontics and founding director of the Center for Human Growth and Development, an interdisciplinary research unit on the Ann Arbor University of Michigan campus.

2023 marks the University of Michigan Orthodontic Program’s Centennial Anniversary.

---

In 1923, the University of Michigan, College of Dental Surgery became the first dental school to offer graduate training in orthodontics leading to a Master of Science degree. In 1928 the school name changed to the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry. In 1938, construction began on the Kellogg building, which was built specifically for postdoctoral graduate dental education. UM Orthodontics has remained in this location since that time. Our program has a long and storied history that has led to our honored traditions and continuous focus on excellence in orthodontic education, patient care and research. Today we continue to work hard to graduate residents with the array of skills needed to become a master clinician. Lots of fun stories to share, including your own. This will be a great time to catch up with classmates, reconnect with faculty, and make new friends!

We will be holding events in celebration of this 100th year anniversary over the 2023 Moyers Symposium weekend, including an evening University of Michigan Alumni and Friends Reception at “The Big House” on Saturday, March 4th. Please plan to join us for what should be a fun and lively event.
