About the Course
The success of a dental practice, and the successful incorporation of orthodontics into a practice,
can hinge on the education and training of its staff. This hands-on course is designed to meet the
needs of doctors and assistants who are currently utilizing Straight-Wire mechanics and would like to
expand the duties that may be delegated to, and performed by, the assistant. You can’t afford to
miss out on the opportunity to train your staff to accept these responsibilities and to encourage
their professional growth.
This is a beginning course specifically designed to teach the fundamentals of orthodontics to
chair-side auxiliaries. No experience is necessary to succeed in this course and there are no
orthodontic prerequisites. This is a two-day course featuring lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Kay Gerety will provide your staff with a clear understanding of orthodontics beginning with patient records, and building on each lesson to conclude with bracket and archwire placement.
