Orthodontic information

Following on from the success of last December’s course, the ESAO will run two parallel courses on June 21^st; one designed for dentists and one tailored toward dental nurses. Delegates will be offered all the hands on experience necessary to deliver aesthetically focused orthodontics in a safe and ethical way.

Attendees to the dentist course will have the opportunity to practice interproximal reduction (IPR) on typodonts, and will explore topics from accessing joint abnormality; accessing occlusion; Incision edge bonding and composite laying techniques; as well as effective retention protocols to avoid relapse.

While delegates on the dental nurses course will be instructed on how to take impressions, the safe removal of retainers and taking effective orthodontic photographs.

Both courses will feature specialist orthodontists who will provide valuable insight into the many fruitful ways that GDPs and specialists can work together.
