Dr. Lisa Alvetro was an early adopter of many advanced dental technologies, including IOS and 3D printing. She has mastered in-house implementation and joins us on this week’s Humpday Happy Hour to walk us through how you can expand orthodontic technologies in your practice!🎉
Dr. Alvetro is the sole orthodontist at her orthodontic practice in Sidney, Ohio, which she has been running for over 30 years. She created Alvetro Print Lab over 10 years ago, and is the founder of Smiles of Hope, a 501(c)(3) organization that provides clean water and actively supports education through scholarships and resources in Nkende, Tanzania.
Dr. Alvetro is a proud Formlabs user and has been investing in various models since Form 2. She also has other printers in her office, such as LuxCreo and Sprintray.
