Orthodontic Training for the Pediatric and General Dentist!

WHY ORTHODONTICS?
With proper training you can provide excellent treatment for 70% to 80% of your patients and refer only those who truly require a specialist.

What this means...

Competent orthodontic treatment will increase your income, enlarge your practice, and lower your stress.  No magic, but more satisfying than Endo and more profitable than Operative.

Proper Orthodontic Training...

What comprises "proper" training?  Let's be serious.  It takes universities two to three years to train an orthodontist.  You should expect to invest at least eight to ten weekends over a twenty to twenty-four month period to become competent in practicing orthodontics.

Three, four, even five course programs simply cannot provide enough instruction to assure that you attain "standard of care" proficiency.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Training

Our course is designed to provide you with improved methods to increase the productivity and profitability of your practice.  With this in mind we have a structures program with a "Hands On " approach.

• Complete training over a long period to provide personal support during your patient's treatment.
• Individual diagnostic consultation prior to treatment with optional progress help throughout your case.
• State-of-the-art treatment, including  early treatment, non-extraction, as well as cosmetic adult treatment, and functional orthopedics with concurrent braces to align.
• Basic non-removable orthopedic appliances for noncompliant patients.
• State-of-the-art Cephalometrics, presented in an expandable, practical approach.
• Thermal activated arch wires for treatment with less office visits.
• We utilize auxiliary delegation and train your assistants as an integral part of this course. 

The following is a brief description of the general overview of some of the training procedures.

• Exercises which promote understanding of proper bracket positioning that result in simplified treatment.

• Complete review and hands on placement of all types of high tech thermal wires with emphasis on why they produce faster treatments with fewer visits.

• "Hands On" placement of "No Cooperation Needed" Thermal Ni-Ti Auxiliaries: springs and expanders.
