Series Details
This comprehensive program equips general and pediatric dentists with the skills and knowledge to diagnose and manage straightforward orthodontic cases confidently. Emphasis is placed on detailed record-keeping and accurate diagnosis to support effective treatment planning.

The course focuses on using functional appliances during the mixed dentition phase and fixed orthodontic braces using the straight wire technique in the permanent dentition. Through its structured methodology, you will gain not only clinical expertise but also strategic insights — including organizational systems and marketing techniques — to successfully incorporate orthodontics into a general dental practice.

By the end of this course, you will learn how to:
• Diagnose and treat simple orthodontic cases
• Conduct comprehensive cephalometric analysis for accurate diagnosis
• Follow a complete, detailed record-taking process
• Utilize a range of functional appliances effectively
• Identify signs of snoring and sleep apnea in patients
• Apply the straight wire technique to align teeth


IMPORTANT:

The course must be completed within one year. Unlike other course series on Dentaltown, purchasing this course provides unlimited access to its contents for only 12 months, after which your access will expire.

Upon purchasing the 12-months access to the course, you are also entitled to a full-color, step-by-step course manual covering all functional appliances and straight wire techniques.
