1st and 2nd Year Continuing Education Classes

Our comprehensive orthodontic continuing education courses are ideal for general and pediatric dentists who want to learn more about orthodontics, understand the work their local orthodontist does, or even begin to introduce orthodontics to their practice. Our first year course, Fundamentals of Orthodontics, is taught by Dr. Gary DiSanto-Rose and our second year course, Intermediate Orthodontics, is led by Dr. Dennis Moren. With our 1st and 2nd year courses, we’ll show you how to get started, what you can treat, and how to know when you need to refer out.
