August 10, 2024 @ 8:00 am – 5:30 pm UTC+0
The INTERMEDIATE Orthodontic Assistant Training Course is ideal for the dental practice that encourages cross-training and utilization of the staff to its maximum potential. The objective is to empower students to completely assist their doctors in everyday orthodontic practice. This course was designed for dental assistants by an orthodontic assistant, Susan Coffey, RDA. These courses are intended for dental auxiliaries and hygienists who have some training in orthodontics to advance their orthodontic assistant skills by understanding Class II patients with distalization. The assistant course covers Dr. Williams’ material and technique. This provides your team with the opportunity to be trained in the same method.
