Orthodontics has seen a rapid increase in popularity over the last few years resulting in more adults requesting Orthodontic treatment and also General Practitioners undertaking this treatment. Much of this rise can be attributable to the improved appearance of appliances, for example tooth coloured brackets and wires and, the ‘direct to market’ approach of several Short Term Orthodontic companies.
Many of the courses available are 1-2 days in duration and focus on how to use the appliance - how to bond the appliance, tie in the wires etc. In such a short time there is simply insufficient time to cover the basic nuts and bolts of Orthodontics - Diagnosis, Creating alternative treatment plans, Biomechanics etc.
The aim of the course is not just to provide you with facts but to apply it your own patients and such help craft your knowledge based on fundamental principles. We do not promote one appliance or technique but give you the skills to be able to create a treatment plan based on bio-mechanical principles and then select appropriate materials/systems to deliver this.
Our unique teaching technique has been proven. We simplify, we empower, we support. It is fun, it may take you out of your comfort zone but at the end you will be able to present a patient in a typical Orthodontic that is understood and respected globally.
Limited to 20 delegates, you will be given all the lectures in advance to read through and the sessions will be used to treatment plan and discuss the cases you bring along to the course. This method of teaching is very interactive and pulls forward all the information in the lectures in a relevant and timely manner. You will also develop a learning portfolio and be encouraged to get some cases underway. During the course you will also be invited to an online forum for delegates who have completed the course so you can gain further advice and support as you progress.

In Depth:
Lectures will be provided in a PDF format. It is strongly recommended that you look through these before attending. To maximize time on your cases we may minimize time on these presentations - why sit there and have slides read to you when you can read them at home. Far better to do this and then ask questions when your there!

Will I be treating patients
No, but it is vital that you take records of your own patients in your own practice (Photos/Study models) and bring these for treatment planning and discussion. You will also need to take photos of these patients at each appointment (front-right-left in occlusion, upper and& lower occlusal) so that we can again discuss treatment progress.
