  <itunes:subtitle>Ortho Laboratories are a huge part of our industry, yet you never see much at conferences about them. Christopher Gajewski is trying to change that by educating technicians and the public. Starting the Association of Orthodontic Laboratory Professionals (AOLP) is the first and crucial step to bring everyone together. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;We really enjoy talking to people that are passionate about what they do. When JDT released their 2020 “Who’s Hot” there was one technician that stood out. Christopher Gajewski is a man on the mission to organize and educate all the ortho laboratories. Chris owned a ortho lab but has now started working 100% for the Association of Orthodontic Laboratory Professionals. We talk to Chris about his beginning, were he sees ortho labs going in the age of digital dentistry, his opinion on clear aligners, starting the AOLP, and his desire to educate the public. &lt;/p&gt;
