Dentists are committed to providing high-quality dental care by constantly looking for innovative treatments and materials that can benefit their patients. General dentists and pediatric dentists happen to see their patients more often than even a medical health practitioner. They will often see patients from a young age so they know their needs, wants, and personalities. Since most general dentists and pediatric dentists collaborate with orthodontists on a daily basis, why not learn orthodontic skills by taking a professional clinical orthodontic course so that you can directly treat your own patients<\/a>?<\/p>\n We all know that orthodontics is a great way to build patient trust<\/a>, develop a new scope and skill set, and increase revenue. In-person continuing education courses, like the Premier Straight Wire Orthodontics Course, are the best way to receive training because it puts your new scope of training in real-life time. You get to actually see what your instructor is teaching on a live patient.<\/p>\n The premier course is a wonderful option for general dentists and pediatric dentists looking to take a step beyond a day or weekend continuing education course. The orthodontic course in Oklahoma is designed for practitioners who are looking to implement orthodontics into their practice<\/a> by understanding diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance.<\/p>\n The course takes place over the time frame of two years. The first year is broken down into six sessions per year with three days per session. A session consists of a didactic portion for half a day and one and a half days of hands-on treatment. The third day is spent treating patients in the clinic. All courses are taught by the experienced Dr. Brad Williams, a general dentist and orthodontic practitioner for over 30years. Dentists will get a temporary license to work and learn in his private practice in Oklahoma with other dentists.<\/p>\n Many dentists have benefitted from the layout of the premier course because it allows trainees to follow patients over the course of two years. Instead of taking a quick continuing education class, this course is intended to provide the knowledge and support to get you confident in the treatment of simple Class-I and Class-II malocclusions.<\/p>\n The in-person orthodontic course reviews diagnosis, offers a review of cephalometrics and panoramic radiographs, allows you to perform orthodontic exercises on typodonts and discuss group treatment planning to prepare you for clinical application. The hands-on portion is invaluable because you will work with Dr. Williams and other motivated dentists wanting to incorporate orthodontics.<\/p>\n The six sessions for the first year are broken down into phases to get you comfortable with the terminology, case diagnosis and selection, and treatment planning. They include the following:<\/p>\n Session I: An overview of orthodontics and cephalometrics and how to diagnose, place separators and brackets<\/p>\n Session II: Understanding early treatment including interceptive cases with appropriate appliances<\/p>\n Session III: Understanding Phase II comprehensive treatment using straight wire techniques<\/p>\n Session IV: Continues Phase II treatment planning and treatment and learning about Class-II malocclusions<\/p>\n Session V: Learning about closing spaces and retraction mechanics and monitoring cases<\/p>\n Session VI: Completing casework with elastics, clear aligners, and retention techniques<\/p>\n Take a professional clinical orthodontic course so that you can directly treat your own patients.
