Continuing education in orthodontics allows general and pediatric dentists to enhance patient care and stay up to date with the latest techniques. The American Orthodontic Society (AOS) provides such education through our Basic Straight Wire Orthodontics Course, which has just completed another successful round. 

Don’t worry if you missed out, though, because there’s another opportunity just around the corner. Here’s what you need to know.

Straight Wire Orthodontics Courses

AOS offers a variety of orthodontic continuing education opportunities for general and pediatric dentists. Our Basic Straight Wire Orthodontics Course prepares you for the process of identifying Class I, II, and III malocclusions. It also covers treatment planning and carrying out treatment using pre-shaped archwire.

At its core, the Basic Straight Wire Orthodontics Course helps dentists integrate orthodontic techniques into their practices. It provides foundational knowledge and hands-on training, equipping you with the necessary tools and experience to handle treatment successfully. By taking this course, you can both expand your services and enhance patient outcomes.

Beyond the basic course, we also offer intermediate and advanced courses. You can continue the journey of orthodontic education to take on a wide range of cases, refine your skills, and stay at the forefront of orthodontic care.

Our Upcoming Basic Straight Wire Course for General and Pediatric Dentists

We are excited to announce the next Basic Comprehensive Straight Wire Orthodontics Course.The course will take place at our recently completed AOS Institute in Grapevine, Texas, which serves as an ideal environment for learning and hands-on experience.

The course structure has been carefully designed to impart both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Hands-on clinical lectures provide participants with the fundamentals of straight wire orthodontics, including bracket placement, wire selection, and treatment planning.

Case reviews further elevate the experience, offering real-world insights into the actual management of various orthodontic cases. This includes simple alignments and more complex malocclusions. Interactive sessions and live demonstrations further round out the experience to allow participants to observe and practice techniques in a controlled environment.

Learn from a respected instructor.

The Basic Straight Wire Orthodontics Course is helmed by Dr. Brad Williams, a respected figure throughout the field as both a practicing dentist and orthodontic instructor. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, with over 30 years of practice in orthodontics. He has completed well over 1,000 cases using an extensive range of orthodontic techniques.

Dr. Williams is a Diplomate of the American Orthodontic Society and has served as a senior instructor for many of our courses. His unique approach to hands-on, interactive education instills dentists with practical skills they can immediately put to work in their practices, and his commitment to patient-centered care shines through in every session.

Participants will benefit from the extensive experience and innovative techniques Dr. Williams has accrued over his career. His insights and guidance empower learners to tackle a wider range of orthodontic cases, improving patient outcomes and expanding possibilities for their practices.

Why sign up for AOS orthodontic CE courses?

The Basic Straight Wire Orthodontics Course offers a variety of benefits. First, it prepares you to offer comprehensive care under one roof rather than shuttling your patients off to specialists. That means more revenue for your practice and more satisfied patients.

This course, in particular, covers a comprehensive range of information you need to handle orthodontic treatment confidently. It covers every step, from diagnosis and treatment planning to hands-on application. Unlike with other course providers, you’ll be thoroughly prepared when the time comes to offer treatment.

Of course, you’ll also have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits. AOS courses are widely recognized by state associations for continuing education credits toward licensing requirements. Instead of simply going through the motions, you can achieve real progress and advance your career while maintaining licensure.
