The course prepares the student to clinically manage patients with orthodontic problems by developing his skills in biomechanics and mechanic therapy. Emphasis will be laid on the biological and technological principles of orthodontic tooth movement. Laboratory sessions are included to demonstrate and develop most of the technical skills required for the graduate to be able to provide limited clinical orthodontic treatment. Laboratory exercises involve banding, bonding, soldering, welding, bracket positioning, wire bending, ligating and establishment of anchorage. The course enables the student to participate in the prevention of the development of occlusal abnormalities and prepares him/her for future advanced postgraduate studies.
