Into to Orthodontics with Dr. Bernardo H.”Coco” Garcia – Session 1 of 2

October 24 - October 25

Dr. Garcia’s program is built on a foundation of comprehensive records, precise diagnosis, and strategic treatment planning. He provides clinicians with practical guidance for managing mixed dentition cases using both functional and fixed appliances, emphasizing a preventive approach that promotes long-term success.

He has developed proven nonsurgical treatment protocols for adult Class II and Class III cases, helping practitioners achieve predictable outcomes while minimizing the need for more invasive interventions.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience and case troubleshooting, Dr. Garcia equips dentists with the skills and confidence to address a wide range of orthodontic challenges, regardless of the treatment technique they use. His treatment philosophy is informed by extensive long-term facial soft-tissue research, ensuring that clinical decisions support both functional outcomes and facial harmony. Extractions are recommended only when they are truly in the patient’s best interest.

At the core of Dr. Garcia’s teaching is the belief that exceptional patient care begins with thoughtful planning, clinical excellence, and attention to detail. His mission is to help dentists elevate the quality of orthodontic treatment they provide while building successful, patient-centered practices.
