Dental training
Orthodontics for beginners
Accelerated practical program with Dr. Bhaskar Saini in 8 days.
The training is aimed at general dentists with an interest in orthodontics.
The program is specially built so that any dentist can start work, even if he has no experience.
We provide the necessary support for all trainees to start putting what they've learned into practice - throughout the process, from A to Z.
Lay a solid foundation for your orthodontics skills.
We will go through the basic theory, combined with plenty of practical exercises to give you a solid preparation for working with real patients.
What to expect from the training
A comprehensive orthodontic program with depth
Includes braces protocol and modern orthodontic appliances, treatment planning, biomechanics, working with orthodontic mini-implants (TADs), and more.
Experienced lecturer with a practical approach
Dr. Saini successfully manages two dental clinics. At the heart of his success is a highly hands-on approach - this is exactly what will be emphasized during this intensive dental training.
Gain real-world, applied skills
Along with the theoretical part, each day is filled with practice - photo documentation protocol, patient analyses, arch bending, bonding, etc.
Full support from the lecturer
You can take advantage of Dr. Saini's help even after the training. We are committed to successfully guiding you through to the completion of your first clinical case.
Materials and tools included in the price
Course participants do not have to bring anything separately, because we have taken care to provide everything - materials, tools, consumables.
Closed online group
Feel free to ask your questions to the lecturer. Engage in useful and constructive discussions. Discuss specific cases from your practice with your fellow students.
