Orthodontic Training for General Dentists

The Brace Training Institute

Orthodontic training for General Dentists
General dentists are rapidly discovering the benefits of being able to offer orthodontic treatment to their patients. There has been a proliferation in courses (Inman, 6 month smiles as well as Invisalign and Clearstep) in recent years aimed at providing dentists with the knowledge to carry out straightforward orthodontic treatment. However many of these courses are expensive and limited to just one solution.

The Course
Do you want to be able to offer orthodontics as part of your cosmetic treatment plans? Do you want to be able to offer a range of appliances to your patients and not be limited to just one brand? This 9 day course will be delivered by Specialist Orthodontist, Dr Murtuza Hasnaini. As this course is being delivered by a specialist, it will cover all types of braces including traditional metal fixed braces as well as aesthetic (ceramic) bracket systems and clear aligners such as Invisalign. The course format will be a combination of lectures and hands-on practical treatment of patients but the emphasis will be on practical orthodontic teaching. The aim is to ensure that at the end of the training, general dentists are able to offer the full range of appliances to all their patients to treat simple malocclusions to a high standard. To ensure participants get maximum benefit from this course, numbers will be limited to 6 attendees, allowing time for one to one tuition.

This course provides over 60 hours verifiable CPD
