Speaker:

Dr. Collins Harrell

Currently thriving as a full-time instructor, consultant and mentor with Progressive Orthodontic Seminars, Collins Harrell built a premier solo general dental practice in San Clemente, California.  Advanced training in traditional braces and aligner therapy together with implant dentistry, cosmetic rehabilitation and full mouth reconstruction provided a high level of success, satisfaction and excitement through 20 years of private practice.

Despite a chronic spinal cord injury that forced a recent early retirement from clinical dentistry, Dr. Harrell is more enthusiastic than ever about the advantages and rewards of incorporating a comprehensive orthodontic education into a career in general dentistry and offering high level orthodontic services to patients.  He loves removing the “mystery” of orthodontic principles and teaching in a way that connects with and inspires other general dentists.

Dr. Harrell’s greatest accomplishment is his happy marriage to his wife of 25 years and counting together with their four growing and fully grown boys. ”
