Dr. Christopher Kesling of Kesling and Rocke Orthodontics recently conducted an advanced two-day orthodontic course for 35 residents of Peking University and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. Dr. Kesling has been on the faculty there since the mid 1980s.

The course covered the patented Tip-Edge Plus appliance, which was developed by the doctors of Kesling and Rocke Orthodontics along with Dr. Richard C. Parkhouse of Wales, UK.

Interest in the appliance and technique has grown in recent years and is currently being taught around the world, including universities in Peking, Beijing and Shanghai. The manual used in teaching this technique, “Tip-Edge Guide,” has been translated into Chinese by Dr. Lin, the former chairman of the Orthodontic Department at Peking University.

Dr. Kesling has offices in Westville and South Bend, IN.
