She then attended the prestigious University College London Eastman Dental Institute where she received her Masters of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics in 2011 and completed her specialist Orthodontic training in 2012. Dr. Eide was the proud recipient of both the 3M Clinical Prize for the best orthodontic trainee in her year group, as well as the British Orthodontic Society JK Williams medal for the best performing candidate at the Royal College of Surgeons (England and Glasgow) MOrth examination.

Dr. Eide holds professional memberships in multiple associations and societies, including the British Orthodontic Society (BOS), BOS Orthodontic Specialist Group (OSG), the Singapore Association of Orthodontists (AOS), World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) and European Aligner Society (EAS). Dr. Eide has been an Invisalign provider in private Orthodontic practice since 2013 and has been a Platinum and Platinum Elite Invisalign provider since 2021. Dr. May Ling Eide is proficient at providing orthodontic treatment for children and adults and has a passion for early orthodontic treatment and interceptive orthodontics.

The Growing Patient's Invisalign Journey: From Early Interception to the Permanent Dentition

A common myth regarding orthodontic treatment for young children is that all permanent teeth need to be present for orthodontic treatment to commence. However, there are dental and skeletal problems that can present in the mixed dentition that would benefit from timely treatment. In this lecture, Dr. Eide will discuss the importance of early detection and intervention in children with mixed dentition with Invisalign First, as well as comprehensive treatment of teenagers with Invisalign Teen once the permanent dentition has erupted. Attendees will gain insights into case selection, treatment planning in the mixed and permanent dentition, and biomechanical considerations that are unique to aligner therapy in growing patients.

Multidisciplinary Treatment of Adults Using the Invisalign System

Invisalign has evolved into a modern versatile tool for comprehensive and interdisciplinary dental care. This lecture explores the integration of Invisalign into multidisciplinary treatment plans involving orthodontic, restorative, periodontal and surgical disciplines. Through clinical case presentations, attendees will learn how to use digital planning tools such as Smile Architect for enhanced predictability, and how to coordinate treatment across the various dental disciplines.

Evolving Frontiers: Advances in Pulp Therapy for the Primary Dentition

With the advent of minimally invasive dentistry, newer techniques have evolved to align with this paradigm shift. Recent evidence now supports the move towards more conservative dentistry with higher success rates when compared to conventional treatment to address dental caries in the primary dentition. Advances in pediatric dentistry and caries management currently focus on preserving pulp vitality through minimally invasive techniques and regenerative approaches, aiming to enhance pulp healing and dentin formation with very good success rates for newer techniques like selective caries removal, indirect pulp therapy, and calcium silicate pulpotomy.

This lecture aims to provide the audience with an overview of the advances in pulp therapy, specifically for the primary dentition. It will present effective evidence-based techniques that will improve the clinical success rate of pulp treatmentsultimately impacting the clinicians' decision making and treatment planning.

Spotlight: Perio-Ortho Issues Resolved

There is an interesting and complicated relationship between orthodontics and periodontics. It is known that untreated, undiagnosed periodontal disease can further aggravate the status of the periodontium. But on the other hand, orthodontics can help in managing and treating periodontal diseases. Many orthodontic cases start during adolescence age. Many reap or suffer the result of their orthodontic experience as they become adults later in life. Therefore, treatment planning is crucial to sustain or improve the overall periodontal condition for the patient long term. Gingivitis and periodontitis, must be identified and should be controlled prior to any commencement of orthodontic treatment. Different perio-ortho issues will be discussed to avoid or prevent errors in treatment. Questions on stripping teeth to gain space, controlling periodontal disease, presence of mucogingival deformities, gingival recessions, importance of attached gingiva, forced eruption as a pre implant preparatory procedure to avoid complicated bone grafting procedures will be shown. Hand in hand, orthodontist and periodontist should work together to achieve the optimal results to meet the expectations and demands of patients with compromised dentitions.

Endo-Ortho Synergy: Collaboration for Optimum Treatment Outcomes

Endo-ortho synergy refers to the collaborative approach between endodontics and orthodontics to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes for patients with complex dental issues. This integrated strategy involves aligning the teeth and addressing underlying dental infections simultaneously, allowing for optimal healing and improved functional results. Endo-ortho collaboration implies careful assessment of case prognosis, and growth and development for proper treatment planning and long term success.
