You have heard about the Web Revolution, but you may not have really examined its
explosive growth and exponential rate of use.

We have heard about young Dentists extensive use of the web and will report on how they use the web to access information they need in their practices.

We can project, with current data, that:

• Orthodontists can expect a 9% attrition in dental referrals
  
• Orthodontists can expect parents to take a more active role in the selection of the Orthodontist treating their children.

The major implication of these trends is that past behavior is not projecting to future behavior.

In the past, dental referrals and networking provided patients to Orthodontists.

In the future, parents and graduating dentists will increasingly source Orthodontists through the web.
