He will be speaking on "3D imaging in Orthodontics"
Dr. Joel Brodsky prides himself in not only providing clinical excellence in orthodontic treatment but also in creating lasting relationships with his patients. Dr. Brodsky has practiced exclusively in Lakewood since 1976. Because he has remained in the same neighborhood for an extensive period of time, he has gotten to treat as many as three generations of some local families.
Dr. Brodsky is a "home grown" Southern California orthodontist. Born in Los Angeles, Dr. Brodsky attended UCLA for eight years where he first studied Engineering and then received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1974. He journeyed to Rochester, New York, where he studied orthodontics at the Eastman Dental Center - University of Rochester and earned both his Certificate in Orthodontics and Masters of Science degree in 1976.
While maintaining a full-time private practice he held an academic appointment at the UCLA School of Dentistry where he donated time as a clinical instructor in orthodontics and oversaw student research in the field. Dr. Brodsky believes in the incorporation of "cutting-edge technology" in his orthodontic practice and is a sought-after lecturer at dental schools and meetings across the country. His present day research involves the areas of digital imaging, the Pendulum appliance and Invisalign® treatment.
He is associated with the cleft palate teams at Long Beach Memorial Hospital, Orthopedic Hospital Los Angeles and Southern California Kaiser Permanente. Dr. Brodsky finds that his most challenging and satisfying cases involve patients with craniofacial problems and/or skeletal disharmonies that require a “team” approach and/or orthognathic surgery.
Dr. Brodsky loves his profession and his family. Dr. Brodsky currently lives in Long Beach with his wife, Edie. In his free time, he likes to spend time with his two children and finds time to tinker with computers, exercise regularly, play golf, snow ski, and travel.
