James Cannon, DDS, MS
Dr. James Cannon practices in Clermont, Georgia. His DDS is from Emory University and his MS in orthodontic training was at the University of Montreal. He has his own bracket design and treatment mechanics. He describes his philosophy of treatment by this statement: "All individuals are unique; therefore treatment plans must be individualized. There is no single set of torques and angulations (Straight Wire prescription) which can be utilized to treat all cases to a precision finish. The design of an orthodontics bracket should not dictate the final torques and angulations but rather enable their establishment." Dr. Cannon teaches at Vanderbilt on Monday and Tuesday once a month.  More information about Dr. Cannon's bracket system and treatment philosphy can be found at www.cannonbrackets.com.
