Entrants for the award were required to prepare two removable appliances to a given prescription along with a written commentary on the rationale for the designs. David Bearn, one of the judges, commented ‘Chetan's entries were outstanding pieces of work showing that the skill of the orthodontic technician is alive and well’.
