American Academy of Clinical Orthodontics

Diploma in Orthodontics

Program Structure

The outlined program addresses both the knowledge needed in clinical Orthodontics, and the skills required to diagnose and manage basic orthodontic appliances efficiently.

This intensive training will equip the trainee with the skills and knowledge at its completion to be able to practice basic Orthodontics efficiently, and have the ability to intelligently pursue further apprenticeship towards advanced Orthodontics as well.

This program comprises of one year of intensive basic training in clinical Orthodontics, comprising of five modules, each module of six days, to be completed in a year. During the program, each participant will be exposed to the fundamental principles of contemporary orthodontic practice, and will also be engaged in such activities to generate new knowledge for the benefit of society.

The program comprises of following main activities:

1. Lectures
2. Live demonstrations
3. Hands-on sessions
4. Laboratory procedures, if required
5. Case studies
6. Group discussions

Module 1

Emerging trends in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment sequencing

ABSTRACT

Recent advances in diagnostic technology and treatment mechanics have resulted in ever increasing levels of well-conceived efficient, and customized care; while simultaneously increasing the challenge of designing a treatment plan appropriate for each individual patient. Accurate diagnosis is a key element in the design of any successful treatment plan.

This course deals with a well-organized approach to diagnosis, treatment planning, various methods and principles involved in anchorage control, and precise positioning of various orthodontic attachments as a strong foundation for efficient treatment mechanics.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

Obtain high quality orthodontic records and carry out systematic clinical assessment of a patient.
Process relevant patient information, and analyze various diagnostic records
Establish standardized protocol for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, sequencing and execution.

COURSE OUTLINE

➢ Introduction to modern orthodontics
    - Historical background
    - Scope of orthodontics
➢ The Changing Goals of Orthodontic Treatment
➢ Understanding the key features of orthodontic treatment
➢ Understanding occlusion, and malocclusion and it’s etiology
➢ Diagnosis and treatment planning
    - Clinical examination
    - Diagnostic records
    - Analysis of diagnostic records
➢ Materials and instrumentation

Hands-on Sessions:

    - Analysis of models
    - Lateral Cephalometric analysis
    - Capturing perfect clinical photos
    - Exercises on establishing diagnosis and planning a treatment
