Check out our Orthodontics Diploma Course in New York, USA. We have started the 1 year Clinical Fellowship course in New Delhi. New batch starting every month. Register asap.
IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?This course is intended for dentists who have little or no experience in orthodontics and want to learn to incorporate it into their practices or progress from removable appliances to a comprehensive, fixed technique. This is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on course which will help you to increase your practice base.
CAN I LEARN ORTHODONTICS IN SUCH A SHORT TIME?
Yes. You will be THOROUGHLY learning ONE technique in orthodontics, viz. the Straight Wire (MBT)technique. This technique is the easiest to practice as the need for wire-bending is almost negligible. With this you start learning the vast subject of orthodontics. AFO courses are designed in such a way that you learn exactly what you need to start practicing orthodontics in your clinic. Once you start your orthodontic practice, we are here to support you through our online free post-course mentoring. At a later stage, if you feel that the technique you are using now is insufficient, you can go for the advanced course and thus learn ALL in orthodontics from Labial to Lingual techniques. Please see the AFO Tier Advancement section on how you can do this.
