There are two religions in Japan, Shintoism and Buddism.  This is a Shinto temple.

  Dr. Tichler has just returned from his trip to Japan where he met with orthodontists from 15 different countries including Russia, China, Dubai, Austria, Germany, Italy, Philippines, South Korea, Columbia, Brazil, Chile, Canada and, of course, Japan and the United States.

Each evening, after spending the day sharing knowledge, research and new advances in orthodontic treatment, the orthodontists all shared a meal together.  Dr. Tichler is pictured here with Dr. Sadao Sato, president of the international orthodontic association, and fellow orthodontists from Russia, Philippines and the U.S.

Dr. Tichler spoke during the three day conference about special treatment techniques he and Dr. Abraham use at our office.

There was also time for some sight seeing. Below are a few of the hundreds of pictures he took during the trip.

Dr. Tichler and his wife, Carol, were interviewed by some Japanese students while they were visiting a temple. The students were challenged by their teacher to ask their questions in English. 

One of the English phrases the students used often was:  "take care!"
