Orthodontic Dental Nursing
Occlusal classification and development, removable, fixed and functional appliances, materials and retention.
The certificate for nurses in an orthodontic practice. It starts with how the dentition develops and how an occlusion is classified and assessed, then spends most of its weight on appliances — removable and fixed components and what each one does, functional appliances, headgear, and the problems that walk back through the door between appointments. It finishes with the materials side: impressions and study models, bonding and cementation, debonding and its hazards, and retention, which is where a large share of the marks sit.
