Basic Comprehensive Orthodontic Course by Dr Kenneth Lew (Group 20)
Ancora Imparo Training Centre, KL Trillion, Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Presenters
Following the success of this course in Malaysia and Singapore, Ancora Imparo is proud in continuing to bring you Dr. Kenneth Lew and his highly sought after orthodontic program.
This 1-year program’s main focus is to educate general dental clinicians on integrating orthodontics into their daily discipline.
This course will help general practitioners, who usually make up the first line of contact with patients, to proactively diagnose and treat simple to moderate orthodontic cases. Furthermore, it also provides participants with the knowledge required to identify complicated orthodontic cases and thus allows earlier intervention by orthodontists to achieve a successful outcome.
The aim of this comprehensive basic course is to increase your knowledge in the science and techniques of orthodontics thus allowing better management of your patients either for treatment of malocclusion or as an adjunct to improve the occlusion in other parts of dentistry in your practice.
The course consists will be conducted over a period of one (1) year which involves four (4) modules.
During the progress of these 4 modules, participants are advised to select 2-3 cases for presentation, this allows participants to have basic knowledge on what simple cases can they start on.
