COURSE OBJECTIVES
The New Orthodontic Mastery Program is a six-session educational course designed for general dentists seeking a structured and clinically sound introduction to orthodontic treatment. The program emphasizes foundational orthodontic principles and focuses on the diagnosis and management of simple orthodontic cases appropriate for general practice. Instruction is delivered through a comprehensive, functional, and holistic treatment framework.
Participants receive clinical education in functional appliances, fixed orthodontic appliances, clear aligner therapy, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), snoring and sleep apnea, and myofunctional therapy. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between occlusion, function, and airway.
Accurate diagnosis is central to the program. Significant attention is given to proper record collection, analysis, and case assessment to support appropriate treatment planning and predictable outcomes.
Treatment protocols include the use of functional appliances during the mixed dentition phase, as well as fixed orthodontic appliances and clear aligner therapy in permanent dentition. Participation in this program provides a meaningful opportunity to develop clinical competence and confidence in orthodontic decision-making. Instruction is delivered by an experienced faculty committed to supporting dentists in the responsible integration of orthodontic treatment into general dental practice.

“I believe that the dentist of the future will have to have an understanding of early orthodontic treatment for children as well as how to establish a healthy TMJ for all patients prior to orthodontic, restorative dentistry and prosthodontics. Also, the dental profession is the only profession that is permitted to fabricate oral appliances for patients who snore or who have sleep apnea. ”
— Brock Rondeau
“My courses have helped general and pediatric dentists all over North America increase their practice income by at least $100,000 per year. If the fear of managed case has you wondering about your future in practice, Orthodontics may be the answer.”
