Course Description
This clinical residency is designed to take the guesswork out of transitioning from orthodontic theory to real-world application. Spanning three intensive weekends, this hands-on program bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and live clinical practice, turning concepts into reliable chairside skills.

Friday:
- Treatment planning, diagnosing and review of the patient cases to be treated by participants in the Skiatook clinic on Saturday.
- Review of any current cases students are treating in their practices and/or any new orthodontic cases they are considering for treatment.
Saturday:
- Students treat orthodontic patients in clinic including making records for diagnosis; radiographs, photographs & scans including analysis, diagnosis & treatment planning.

- Removing orthodontic appliances & delivery of retainers
