Detailed Description of 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive CourseIntended Audience and Prerequisites for 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive Course
The intended audience for the 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive Course are dental professionals who want to learn essential orthodontic concepts and procedures to provide quality orthodontic care to patients. Dental professionals who are leaders in the practice should complete all the courses in this series so they will recognize quality performance and results when they delegate procedures to employees. All Mentors who will supervise learners and give hands-on training must complete all of the courses they will be administering to learners in the Training Program.
Certain employees with specific responsibilities within the practice may complete selected courses such as photography, models, cephalometrics, and other courses, but should be cross-trained with other employees who perform the same procedures. Ideally, all employees as well as doctors should complete all courses in this series so that the entire Team works together efficiently.
The introductory course, 10.03-Introduction to OrthoTraining, is included in this Training Program curriculum so it does not need to be taken separately by new employees or by new doctors in the practice.
Minimum prerequisites for learners who take this course are graduation from high school and at least 6 or more months of employment in the practice. Students should be proficient in English.
Since this is a college-level course, suggested prerequisites are college-level courses in basic writing, basic math, introductory courses in biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, and psychology. Knowledge from these courses gives students a solid foundation for future learning and advancement as an employee in the dental profession.
OrthoTraining System for administering the 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive Course The unique OrthoTraining System that delivers 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive Course is equivalent to a college-level course with detailed presentations, Knowledge Quizzes to measure learning, and step-by-step checklists for hands-on training. The System is fully integrated to teach knowledge concepts, measure knowledge learning, deliver hands-on training, measure quality control of hands-on learning, and summarize results of all learning activities on a Student Dashboard Grade Report linking to course completion certificates.
The nine online courses teach course objectives in their Presentations and have a total run time of 18 hours. Students must have razor-sharp focus to learn this information and are assisted by answering hundreds of embedded quiz questions that give correct answers to the learner. After learning each presentation, the student is advised to sleep so that learning can be processed out of short-term memory into long-term memory into the neurons of the cortex of the brain. After sleeping, each student takes the course Knowledge Quiz (without answers) that measures long-term learning in the brain and the accuracy of student recall. The student has only two attempts to pass a Knowledge Quiz at the 80% level. The objective of the Knowledge Quiz is to give valuable learning feedback to the student so the student can return to the presentation if a concept is not clearly understood.
All online course presentations teach performance of procedures using multimedia movies and include printable detailed step-by-step checklists that are used during hands-on training. Usually, a trained Mentor supervises a group of students who are all taking the 40.00-Orthodontic Basics 8-Week In-Office Comprehensive Course at the same time within the office. This approach to training cross-trains all employees at the highest level of proficiency for optimum teamwork and production. OrthoTraining has tools that help train the Mentor to supervise the learning of the employees.

- Produce a diagnostic panoramic radiographic image that has minimal distortion and review it for technique defects and note obvious abnormalities for the doctor to evaluate.
- Produce, digitize, and electronically analyze a cephalometric image and check for accurate measurements.
- Gather accurate diagnostic records together for the doctor to diagnose and develop treatment options that can be presented to the patient by an employee of the practice.
- Once the patient has decided upon the desired treatment plan, the Treatment Coordinator may enroll the patient in the practice, submit the treatment plan to the clear aligner therapy manufacturer to create a treatment animation that the doctor approves and that the patient approves.
- A final appointment-by-appointment Treatment Plan is written and entered by the Treatment Coordinator into the patient’s electronic record that all Team members understand and can carry out the procedures as planned at each appointment.
