Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Evaluate and discuss the history of fixed appliance treatment and the development of the edgewise appliance and demonstrate an understanding of the mechanics of the modern edgewise appliance.
- Demonstrate an ability to apply the standard edgewise technique for fixed appliance orthodontic treatment in a range of simulated cases.
- Critically appraise the scientific literature surrounding the pre-adjusted orthodontic fixed appliance and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these appliances.
- Apply the principles of self-evaluation in clinical procedures and be able to critically reflect on the quality of their own clinical work and record this in a reflective account.
- Demonstrate an ability to use a wide range of wire bending techniques to solve common clinical presentations of malocclusion and tooth alignment.
