Record entries for the BOS Student Technician Award 2008

Congratulations to Rachel McMichan on winning the 2008 British Orthodontic Society (BOS) Student Technician Award. Rachel received her award at the Orthodontic Technicians Association Annual (OTA) Conference in Edinburgh which took place on 14-16 March 2008, from David Bearn, Chairman of the BOS Scholarship & Grants Committee.

This year’s competition attracted a record number of entries and the judges had a very difficult time selecting the winner. The entrants were required to prepare a removable appliance to a given prescription, and Rachel’s imaginative use of colour in the baseplate certainly stood out (which can be seen in the accompanying photography). The entrants also had to design and produce an appliance to achieve certain tooth movements and present a written commentary on the rationale for the design chosen.

Rachel’s prize was a complimentary conference package to attend the OTA conference in Edinburgh, along with a cheque from the BOS.

More information about the BOS and its work with The Orthodontic Technicians Association can be found on www.bos.org.uk.
