Do Our GP Ortho Courses Teach You To Manage All Orthodontic Cases?

GP ortho courses helps you manage your cases

In dentistry, there is no single treatment option that fits all patients. Each patient needs a customized treatment plan depending on their medical and dental histories, budget, and dental needs. This holds true for orthodontic cases as well. In order to be prepared to deal with all orthodontic cases, you need training, experience, and a professional support system, like the ones you can get from our GP ortho courses for general dentists to help guide you through challenging patient cases.

When you decide to pursue orthodontics, it is like investing in your dental education and professional career all over again. You may have finished dental school, but the learning process in dentistry is ongoing. Thus, it is important to choose well designed orthodontic courses, like the ones offered by Synergy Orthodontic Seminars.

What are the benefits of taking a GP ortho courses with Synergy?

Our GP ortho courses are designed with the general and pediatric dentist in mind. They are taught by dedicated instructors who work directly with general and pediatric dentists, so they understand the challenges and mindset of a dentist treating orthodontics. It is their job to help you get to a place where you feel confident treating patients on your own.

Synergy Orthodontic Seminars sets up hands-on orthodontic workshops over the course of numerous months to give you a real-life perspective of treating orthodontics. This is because orthodontic treatment cannot be treated in one or two sessions like a crown placement. It requires many, many months, or even years, to successfully complete treatment.

We also have orthodontic seminars for dentists at all levels. The most popular course, Basic Straight Wire, is one of our introductory courses that will enable you to treat 70-80% of all orthodontic cases. This six-session course prepares you with hands-on workshops where you learn to band and bracket teeth. It also helps you understand the types of cases that are appropriate to treat and when it is best to refer out.

What happens to the remaining 20-30% of cases? You have two options—either refer cases out to other specialists or continue your investment in orthodontic continuing education with Synergy Orthodontic Seminars by taking some intermediate and advanced courses.

What is the difference between the various GP ortho courses?

An introductory orthodontic training course with Synergy gives you the basic foundation to treat two thirds of orthodontic cases by teaching you how to take diagnostic records, design a treatment plan, and treat nearly all Class I and II malocclusions. But, not every patient falls into a simple Class I or II malocclusion case.

The intermediate and advanced orthodontic courses are a continuation of what you learn in the basic course. It reviews how to treat more challenging Class III malocclusions, and also adjunct appliances like TADS, Class II elastics, surgical orthognathic cases, and impacted teeth. It is these complicated cases that when treated successfully will get your name out in the community. When patients see how their smiles are transforming, they will quickly refer you to their friends and family because they trust that you can treat difficult cases with finesse.

Orthodontic CE courses for general dentists are the best way to get hands-on experience and discuss actual patient cases with other colleagues so you get the confidence you need to treat more difficult cases. The difference between the basic and intermediate/advanced courses is that you’ll have a good foundation and understanding of the biomechanics and physics of moving teeth with the latter.

The more advanced courses work on tackling those tricky topics like 3D printing, intraoral scanning, and appliances that require a true understanding of how to correctly shift teeth into the proper positions.

Are there orthodontic courses that prepare you to treat all cases?

Sometimes all it takes is learning the basics to get you motivated to want to treat more difficult orthodontic cases. But if you decide you want to master the field, it is important to invest the time in reading journals, discussing cases with colleagues, asking your instructors questions, and continuing your educational journey.

Remember, implementing orthodontics into your practice is not all textbook work. It takes practical applications and management, and it takes training your staff to transform your practice into a general dental orthodontic office. Thus, if you are looking to be prepared to manage all orthodontic cases, you need to spend the time learning, taking the hands-on workshops, and helping your team get adjusted to learning the field. When you are fully educated and prepared, you’re more likely to get patients to accept treatment because you are confident.

Synergy Orthodontic Seminars CE training courses can help you and your team reach your full potential.

Treating orthodontics in a general practice is important because you can take a patient’s entire dental history into consideration, including their periodontal health, restorative health, and cosmetic concerns when designing an orthodontic treatment plan. Synergy Orthodontic Seminars is here to help guide you, both clinically and in practice management, to get you prepared to be the top orthodontic provider in your town.
