Overview

Providing orthodontics is about more than just giving our patients great smiles. Orthodontic treatment can oftentimes be used alone, or in tandem with other treatment modalities as part of a larger treatment plan. Orthodontics can serve our patients as an alternative to surgical or more invasive procedures. Ortho can also assist us in improving tooth position that will in turn give us better restorative outcomes, leading to significant cost savings, great efficiency, and improved clinical outcomes.

Overview

  • The role of orthodontics in a general practice
  • Explaining the different modalities of treatment available today
  • Develop a criterion for cases to understand what to treat and what to refer
  • Systematizing how to think about orthodontic planning
  • Screening and diagnosis
  • Taking proper records and photography
  • Understanding the biomechanics of aligner therapy
