Orthodontics University of Plymouth

Overview

Sessions include clinical skills and observations in specialist practice, together with support of orthodontic clinical care provided by the practitioner for patients in their own practice. This approach will enable you to develop confidence in practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge, understanding and application to patients.

The Orthodontics course at University of Plymouth allows case assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, patient management and practical clinical techniques to be learnt, underpinned by an appraisal of the evidence base, so that participants gain the skills to practice critically and effectively in their own dental practices.
