Orthodontic dental CE courses provide an opportunity for orthodontists to gain new skills (and enhance existing ones!) and keep abreast of the latest advancements in the field. Orthodontists who invest in continuing education are better positioned to provide their patients with the most advanced and effective treatments available.
While improving clinical skills is a common focus of orthodontic dental CE, orthodontists can also enhance business tactics through continuing education. For example, they can learn how to effectively market their practice, improve patient satisfaction, and manage their finances. These skills can help orthodontists build a successful and thriving practice that attracts and retains patients. While orthodontist-specific continuing education courses are ideal, orthodontists may also find value in CE geared to a broader audience of dental professionals.

It is important for orthodontists to engage in continuing education every year to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in their field.

Several other organizations provide high quality orthodontic continuing education courses, including:
