Fundamentals of Orthodontics in General Practice - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Dr. R. Bruce McFarlane, this course responds to a genuine shift in the market: growing patient demand for simpler, less invasive orthodontic treatment, combined with digital technologies that have made incorporating orthodontics into general practice more realistic than ever. Rather than training specialists, the course is built specifically to give general dentists the theoretical grounding and practical skill to take on straightforward orthodontic cases.

The curriculum covers planning, executing, and finishing orthodontic treatment using traditional appliances, clear aligners, and current digital protocols and devices. Several clinical clips demonstrate proper treatment timing and sequencing across both mixed and permanent dentition, giving viewers a concrete sense of how a case actually progresses rather than only the underlying theory.

Across 8 videos and 4 hours of content, the course is designed to help general dentists begin treating orthodontic cases gradually, safely, profitably, and predictably — without needing to refer every case to a specialist.
