The Orthodontics 2012 - 2013 Series: a series of three coordinated courses
An increasing number of dentists are incorporating orthodontics into their practices. This is a series of three coordinated courses designed with those dentists in mind. They are spread over a period of time to allow meaningful, clinical hands-on experience to be gained.
| ORTHODONTICS I | |
|---|---|
| Course No: | 123412 |
| Format: | Lectures, Practical Sessions and Hands on Clinical |
| Date: | Thursday 19, Friday 20 & Monday 23, Tuesday 24 January 2012 |
| Time: | 9:00am - 5:00pm (Registration from 8:30am) - includes full day's catering |

For orthodontic treatment to be successful at any level, it is essential to have a basic understanding of normal growth and development of the dento-facial complex and to possess the skills to recognise developing malocclusion.
The course is aimed at providing this information so that an improvement in diagnostic skills can be acquired. The scope of treatment and appliances that could be part of general practice will be included. Practical sessions include cephalometric analysis, Orthodontic bracket positioning and removable appliance adjustment. Clinical sessions include orthodontic appliance bonding and patient assessment.
Treatment with selected removable and fixed appliances will be demonstrated. With this knowledge, course participants if they so wish, may be able to participate in Orthodontics II which is more clinically based and of longer duration. As a stand alone course, participants will be more able to recognise abnormal occlusions in both the developing and permanent dentitions, with guidelines for treatment options.
Course participants are encouraged to bring records of patients from their own practice for assessment and evaluation.
