Professional Benefits of Williams Update Weekends

As a dentist familiar with straight wire techniques, you know there’s always room to improve and expand your skill set. Williams Update Weekends offer a unique orthodontic continuing education (CE) opportunity for you to do just that.

Here are some of the key benefits of attending these two-day hands-on orthodontic courses:

1. Intensive Hands-On Learning

Williams Update Weekends provide hands-on learning for you to build on the experience you’ve developed through other orthodontic courses. The physical approach to the mechanics and techniques will prepare you to tackle a wider range of orthodontic cases, thereby reducing the need for outside referrals.

There are two separate weekend courses available that tackle different areas of orthodontic treatment. The first focuses on Phase I early intervention, implementing nonextraction techniques and airway-conscious principles. You’ll learn the necessary techniques and tools to handle a wide range of potential cases.

The second course focuses on innovative strategies for Phase II treatment. These include the fabrication and assembly workflows for a variety of oral appliances, giving you the practical skills to carry out treatment for these complex cases.

2. Case Finishing and Detailing Techniques

Regardless of the course you choose, Williams Update Weekends focus on all aspects of the treatment process, including diagnosis and planning, implementation, and case finishing and detailing. You’ll gain practical experience with all of these steps to ensure that you’re truly prepared to implement these treatments in your practice.

Developing a strong skill set when it comes to finishing and detailing orthodontic cases is necessary for optimal patient outcomes. Through your course, you’ll gain the knowledge and experience to tackle these critical steps thoroughly and achieve excellent outcomes, even in the most complex cases.

That experience involves developing the technical skills necessary to handle finishing treatments using many different types of appliances. Depending on the specific weekend course chosen, these can include utility arch wire systems, fixed removable lingual arch, the multi-distalizing appliance, and Goodman torquing auxiliaries, among others.

3. Small-Group Learning Environment

One of the unique benefits of Williams Update Weekends is that their small class sizes allow for more intimate and involved experiences. You’ll receive more tailored guidance from instructor Dr. Brad Williams and have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss important topics.

Small class sizes are also highly beneficial in hands-on learning experiences like these because you’ll receive more direct oversight and guidance from the instructor, ensuring that you have truly developed the practical skills necessary to carry out treatment.

While CE courses with larger group sizes are out there and still have plenty to offer, these exclusive opportunities are tailored to dentists looking to truly enhance their orthodontic skills and knowledge as much as possible.

4. Earning 16 CE Credits

There’s no doubt that the practical experience gained by attending Williams Update Weekends is valuable enough on its own. However, you also gain 16 CE credits by completing the two-day course. Its weekend format makes it easy to fit into busy schedules while still delivering an exceptional education experience.

Those 16 credits you receive will also help you work toward your ongoing licensing requirements. Finding CE credit opportunities that both suit your schedule and provide meaningful benefits can be a challenge. But with Williams Update Weekends, you’ll fulfill both requirements in an engaging and enlightening manner

5. Networking With Fellow Dentists

Williams Update Weekends are also highly valuable thanks to the networking opportunities they provide. You’ll spend the weekend with a group of like-minded dentists who are committed to expanding their orthodontic experience and skills.

Connecting with your colleagues always provides something of value. You can build lasting relationships that continue to help your practice thrive and grow long into the future. These types of professional relationships are best made with dentists who show the same level of commitment that you do.

The other dentists attending Williams Update Weekends are likely in situations very similar to your own. They’re also going through the process of providing orthodontic treatment through their practices and building for the future. Sharing your experiences with your colleagues provides benefits for all. You’ll learn from each other’s progress and struggles, and you may just find some incredibly important insights from them, too, letting you take your practice further than ever before.
