Level 1 - Intro to Orthodontics - Session 3 is organized by Rondeau Seminars Limited and will be held from Feb 28 - Mar 01, 2025 at Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Course Objectives:
The purpose of this comprehensive 4 session, 8 day program is to teach general and pediatric dentists how to diagnose and treat simple orthodontic cases. Emphasis will be placed on thorough records and diagnosis. Treatment will involve using a combination of functional appliances mainly in mixed dentition and fixed orthodontic braces (straight wire technique) in permanent dentition. Brock Rondeau’s systematic approach, organization and marketing tips make incorporating orthodontics into the general practice relatively easy.
