Dr. Jep Paschal is a proud husband, father of three, a solo practitioner, a technologist, and an orthodontic futurist. He has had the privilege of lecturing all over the world helping Orthodontists learn the value of digital orthodontics, In-Office Aligner Design and Manufacturing, the Sagittal First treatment philosophy, the Passive Self Ligation treatment philosophy, and the merits of the solo practitioner in an increasingly corporate ecosystem.
He received his BS from Emory University and his DMD from the Medical College of Georgia. Completed residencies in Prosthodontics, then a General Practice Residency and his Master of Science degree in Biomaterials & Prosthodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Dr. Paschal maintained a private practice in Prosthodontics and Implant Dentistry before returning for a residency in Orthodontics at the University of Rochester Eastman Dental Center.
Dr. Paschal has served on the Board of Directors for the American Association of Orthodontists Foundation, as President of the Georgia Association of Orthodontists, as a member and Chairman of the Council on Communications for the AAO, and as a member and Co-Chair for the AAO Future Think Tank. Dr. Paschal currently maintains a private orthodontic practice in Madison and Lake Oconee, Georgia, USA. His hobbies include family, computers and technology, reading, skiing, and travel.
Once he discovered Komet quality, Dr. Paschal felt compelled to outfit his practice with a full complement of Komet diamonds and carbides.
While Dr. Paschal relies on numerous Komet instruments, he finds himself repeatedly turning to the
H48L.FG.012 feather-edge carbide bur, which is an ideal option for orthodontic debonding thanks to a noncutting tip that minimizes the potential for tissue impingement and trauma.
