The OHI‑S Library of Orthodontic Appliances: Module 1 – Analog Protocols course is best for orthodontists, pediatric dentists, and general dentists with orthodontic practice who want structured, training in traditional (non‑digital) orthodontic appliance protocols. It emphasizes foundational, evidence‑based workflows for appliance design, fabrication, and clinical management before transitioning into digital orthodontics.
👩⚕️ Who Should Enroll
- Orthodontists refining their knowledge of classic appliance protocols and analog workflows.
- Pediatric dentists treating growing patients with interceptive orthodontic appliances.
- General dentists with orthodontic focus who want to strengthen their foundation in appliance therapy.
- Residents & fellows in orthodontics or pediatric dentistry seeking immersion in traditional appliance design and use.
- Dental technicians fabricating analog orthodontic appliances and collaborating with clinicians.
📚 What You’ll Learn
- Analog appliance protocols: step‑by‑step workflows for traditional orthodontic appliances.
- Design & fabrication: clinical and lab procedures for analog appliances.
- Clinical applications: interceptive, corrective, and retention appliances in analog format.
