United States Dental Institute Provides Training for Orthodontist Through Seminars and Training Courses

Orthodontist training will expand the services you provide to the patients you already have. With Orthodontics you could add $200,000+ a year to your practice without adding a single new patient. Competent orthodontic training will increase your income and enlarge your practice.

The USDI

We are the United States Dental Institute (USDI). USDI is the oldest, most diversified, broadest based, instructor-rich orthodontics program in the industry. With over thirty years of experience in numerous locations, we offer the professional, serious in-depth orthodontic seminars and courses required to acquire the proficiency you need. Individual case consultations provide an integral part of our highly regarded program. Our instructors include orthodontists, pediatric, and family practitioners who teach our orthodontic seminars and courses.
​
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 to attain competent clinical skills in orthodontics?”
 Let’s be serious. A university trained specialist is usually in a master’s degree program that take 2 to 3 years and includes research projects.  In terms of hours, the total is approximately 3,500 hours. On the other hand, there are orthodontic programs that claim that only a few weekend courses are needed to attain competent clinical skills. Well the answer lies somewhere in the middle. You should expect to invest at least 8 to 10 weekends over 20 to 24 months, along with our support in treating some orthodontic cases in your office, which will serve as your clinic. If we total the hours in our program, including the cases that you will do, a fair estimate would probably approach about 1000 hours. Therefore, the 3, 4, or even 5 course programs simply cannot provide enough instruction to assure that you attain a “standard of care” proficiency.

• 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.
