About the Course
The success of a dental practice, and the successful incorporation of
orthodontics into a practice, can hinge on the education and training
of its staff. This hands-on course is designed to meet the needs
of doctors and assistants who are currently utilizing Straight-Wire
mechanics and would like to expand the duties that may be delegated
to, and performed by, the assistant. You can’t afford to miss out on the
opportunity to train your staff to accept these responsibilities and to
encourage their professional growth.
This is a beginning course specifically designed to teach the fundamentals
of orthodontics to chair-side auxiliaries. No experience is necessary to
succeed in this course and there are no orthodontic prerequisites. This
is a two-day course featuring lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on
exercises. Kay Gerety will provide your staff with a clear understanding
of orthodontics beginning with patient records, and building on each
lesson to conclude with bracket and archwire placement.
