Read our 5 star reviews!
Summary
This is a unique Orthodontic Training Course for the Dental Professionals (Doctors, Dental Hygienists, Dental Assistants, and Dental Auxiliary Staff) who are looking to expand their skill set into an orthodontic practice. It is designed to update your knowledge of latest orthodontic philosophies, treatment modalities and leading edge procedures, such as light force orthodontics, clear aligner therapy, and accelerated tooth movement.
The role of the Dental Team in orthodontics is a key and important one! From education, to assessment, to supportive therapies during orthodontic treatment and maintaining health, the Dental Team has the unique opportunity to impact this ever-growing area of dentistry. While most programs include some education on orthodontics, it is not covered to the extent for today’s demands.
The knowledge gained through Fridays lecture/didactic format is reinforced by Saturday’s clinical participation, allowing you the optimum learning experience.
Optional Internship (30 hours of chair time)
If you meet all the necessary academic requirements, you will be able to participate in an optional unpaid internship that will allow you to acquire additional hands-on experience in one of our partnered dental practices for no additional cost. (Can not exceed 3 months of course completion).

I wanted to thank all the instructors for the wonderful opportunity, and for taking the time out of your weekend for the Orthodontic Training course.
Everything about the course from Day 1 was so informative…. not only did I learn, but I truly had so much fun!
Such a welcoming and positive environment with people you can tell love their jobs.
I will definitely be recommending to all my colleagues and friends.
The Clinch Learning Centre comes highly recommended – I hired some great personalities with no background in Orthodontics. After completing the Comprehensive Orthodontic Training Course they were able to successfully integrate into the practice.
