This course series provides education of orthodontic residents on the full range of clinical experiences required for the practice of orthodontics. Treatment of all patients is planned and monitored with faculty input at each appointment, including clinical examinations, collection of initial records, diagnosis and treatment of individual patients, determining the need for outside consultations, fabrication and placement of orthodontic appliances, sequentially modifying the appliance to achieve planned treatment goals, removal of the appliances, designing and placement of retainers, and retention recall follow up. As part of this process, communication skills are developed between the resident and patients, staff, referring dentists, consulting dentists or physicians, and orthodontic colleagues.
