Course Outline
With a focused 10-day curriculum covering essential and advanced topics, our crash course is designed to quickly prepare you for a successful career in orthodontics.
Diagnosis and treatment planning
Clinical Analysis
- History
- Extraoral examination
- Intra oral examination
This section will focus exclusively on theoretical concepts, providing a strong foundation in orthodontic principles.
Record Taking
- Photographs
The Photographs module offers in-depth knowledge on the importance of orthodontic photography and the techniques involved. You will learn how to use various tools and equipment for capturing high-quality images, and engage in hands-on practice to master the art of taking accurate photographs for patient records
Cephalometry
- Tracing
- Analysis
- Interpretation
Cephalometric analysis is crucial for diagnosing dental and skeletal malocclusions, planning corrective treatments, and evaluating treatment progress and growth changes. In this class, you'll focus on Tracing, Analysis, and Interpretation, with a strong emphasis on their application in orthodontics. You'll also engage in hands-on cephalometric tracing, applying the techniques directly to enhance your practical skills
Treatment Planning
- Extraction vs non-extraction
- Various extraction patterns for different malocclusions
- Problem oriented approach for orthodontic treatment
In the Treatment Planning section, we'll explore the decision-making process between extraction and non-extraction approaches, review various extraction patterns for different malocclusions, and emphasize a problem-oriented approach to orthodontic treatment. This comprehensive overview will equip you with the confidence to create effective, individualized treatment plans, helping you determine when to extract teeth and when to avoid it. With a focus on soft tissue balance, you'll learn to achieve optimal aesthetic results and the best possible orthodontic outcomes.
Applied Orthodontics
Instruments and Materials
- Basic armamentarium for beginning orthodontic practice
Having the right tools is essential, and not knowing how to use orthodontic instruments can lead to challenging situations. In this class, we will cover everything you need to know about basic orthodontic instruments, ensuring you're well-prepared for your practice.
Brackets
- Bracket prescriptions (tip and torque values)
- How to identify brackets
Accurate bracket identification is crucial in orthodontics. The placement of a premolar bracket on an incisor or placing a bracket upside down can significantly impact treatment outcomes, as each bracket has specific tipping and torquing values. In this class, you'll learn all about different types of brackets, their tip and torque values, and how to correctly identify and place them to optimize results.
Banding and Bonding
- Molar band placement
- Bracket placement
- Direct bonding
After identifying brackets, you'll learn the bonding process, focusing on proper bracket placement to achieve optimal three-dimensional force delivery with a straight-wire appliance. Accurate placement is essential for creating an aesthetic smile arc, level marginal ridges, and well-aligned teeth. We’ll cover various positioning methods, including the "Smile Arc and Marginal Ridge Approach," followed by hands-on exercises on patient models to ensure practical understanding.
Archwire
- Material and types
- Arch forms
- Archwire sequencing
In this section, you'll explore the different materials and types of archwires used in orthodontics, including various arch forms and their applications. We will cover archwire sequencing, which involves the systematic progression of archwires to achieve optimal tooth alignment and treatment outcomes. This knowledge is essential for effective orthodontic planning and execution.
Treatment Progress And Mechanics
Biomechanics
- Basics of biomechanics
This section covers the fundamental principles of biomechanics in orthodontics, including how forces and moments affect tooth movement and alignment. You'll learn about the mechanical interactions between orthodontic appliances and dental structures, which are crucial for designing effective treatment plans.
Stages of Treatment
- Alignment and leveling and trouble shooting
- Space creation
- Space closure
- Anchorage management
In this comprehensive section, you'll explore the essential stages of orthodontic treatment, combining both theoretical knowledge and practical application. We'll cover Alignment and Leveling, focusing on techniques to correct tooth positions and achieve a well-aligned arch. Additionally, you'll study Space Creation techniques for when additional space is required and Space Closure strategies to effectively close gaps once space is no longer needed. Anchorage Management will also be addressed to maintain stability and apply effective forces throughout treatment. This module will provide you with the theoretical foundation and hands-on experience necessary to excel in orthodontic treatment planning and execution.
Malocclusions and its Correction
- Deep bite correction
- Open bite correction
- Class II mechanics
- Interceptive orthodontics Functional appliances
- Class III mechanics
In the final session of this course, you'll gain the skills and knowledge needed to tackle advanced orthodontic challenges.
We’ll cover Deep Bite Correction, focusing on techniques to reduce excessive vertical overlap of the front teeth, and Open Bite Correction, which addresses gaps between the upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.
You’ll also learn Class II Mechanics, which involve strategies to correct overbites by aligning the upper and lower jaws, and Class III Mechanics, which focus on correcting underbites and bringing the lower jaw into proper alignment.
Additionally, we’ll explore Interceptive Orthodontics, which involves early intervention to correct developing dental and jaw issues in younger patients. The use of Functional Appliances, which guide the growth and development of the jaw and teeth, will also be covered.
Unlock the Secrets of Orthodontics in 60 Hours
By the end of this course, you’ll have the confidence and expertise to handle moderate cases and advance your career as a skilled orthodontist. Over 10 days, this 60-hour program will provide you with the skills to effectively treat your own patients. Additionally, you’ll gain access to a dedicated WhatsApp group where you can share your own cases, discuss treatment options, and receive active guidance from Prof. Irfan in developing effective treatment plans.
