How the three modules work
The gaps between modules are part of the design. After Module 1 you start your own cases, and you return to Module 2 with questions from real treatment. Module 3 revisits the earlier teaching and focuses on finishing well.
Module 1 (3 days): Building the foundation and starting cases
Module 1 prepares you to diagnose, plan and start an orthodontic case. You work through the diagnostic process from consultation to records, learn the armamentarium, and leave with a bonding and wire sequence you can follow.
- Introduction to orthodontics
- Orthodontic diagnosis and the diagnostic process
- Case selection
- Treatment planning
- Cephalometric analysis
- Model analysis
- Photographic analysis
- Orthodontic armamentarium and accessories
- MBT appliance
- Braces: brackets, bands and tubes
- Archwires and wire sequences
- Bonding protocol
- Staging of orthodontic treatment
- Management of crowding, rotations, crossbites and impacted teeth
Module 2 (2 days): Case progression and mechanics
Module 2 takes place about two months after Module 1, so you arrive with real cases in progress and real questions. It covers the biology and mechanics behind tooth movement and how to manage each stage of treatment and each recall visit.
- Orthodontic biomechanics
- Biology of tooth movement
- Etiology of malocclusion
- Management of deep bite and open bite cases
- Management of extraction cases
- Mini implants in orthodontics
Module 3 (3 days): Finishing, functional appliances and aligners
Module 3 revises the earlier modules and focuses on finishing cases well. It also covers functional appliances, interceptive orthodontics in mixed dentition, clear aligner therapy and interdisciplinary orthodontics.
- Finishing and detailing
- Retention
- Functional appliances
- Interceptive orthodontics
- Clear aligner therapy
- Interdisciplinary orthodontics
How you will learn
Each module combines structured lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice and discussion of cases. Because the practical format differs by module and batch, the team walks you through it personally when you call or message, so the details you receive are accurate for the batch you plan to join.
After the course you keep unlimited post-course support, so your first cases are never handled alone. Revision sessions are part of the support.
Who this program suits
- BDS dentists who want to begin fixed orthodontic treatment in their own clinic
- Dentists who already place braces and want a structured, biomechanics based framework
- Dentists in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities who want to offer orthodontic care locally
It does not suit anyone looking for a degree, diploma or fellowship, because the program does not confer one.
