Modern Dentistry – A Healing Profession?

As you can see from the Typodont Exercises below, there is something there for everyone, covering nearly every scenario you will come across when practicing fixed orthodontic therapy. Typodonts with bands and brackets are furnished Day 2 would also be an ideal opportunity to bring one or more of your auxiliaries, as trained Orthodontic nurses will demonstrate how they can be of enormous use to yourselves when bonding up patients. They will also learn how to do basic orthopaedic repairs.

You are also encouraged to bring to the course two cases with study models, cephalometrics, panarex and pictures, plus any on-going cases on which you would like Dr Truitt’s opinion.
