Course Overview

The ABB course encompasses two courses in one; day one is the Removable Appliances Course (covering Inman & clear aligners) and day two is the Ortho Restorative course. Either of these days can be booked separately but this 2-day course gives dentists the confidence to deliver a complete solution to their patients. By the end of these two days, attendees will be able to handle simple to moderate alignment cases as well as everything needed to finish cases post-orthodontics and be able to ensure long-term stability and function. Support is provided at every step with an online mentoring system where cases are checked for suitability, records are assessed, and help can be given at any point through the treatment. Three monitored cases are treated as part of certification.
