Orthodontics 1

This course will give you a clear understanding of normal growth and development of the dento-facial complex and you'll gain the skills to recognise developing malocclusion.
Theoretical and practical orthodontic training

To ensure successful orthodontic treatment, a solid grasp of normal dento-facial growth and development is crucial, along with the ability to identify emerging malocclusions. This course equips you with foundational knowledge to enhance your diagnostic abilities. Explore treatment options using both removable and fixed appliances to further advance your skills in orthodontics.

New for this year is a focused addition on the development and treatment of early, mid, and late mixed dentition, utilising fixed appliances, as well as the design and use of clear aligners in managing common orthodontic cases.

The scope of treatment and appliances that could be part of general practice is included. 

Treatment with selected removable and fixed appliances will be discussed. With this knowledge, if you so wish, you may be able to participate in Orthodontics II which is more clinically based and of longer duration. As a stand-alone course, you will develop skills to recognise abnormal occlusions in both the developing and permanent dentitions, with guidelines for treatment options.
