Delivered in a small group format by Dr. Nadeem Younis, you will work through real clinical scenarios, perform direct bracket bonding on typodonts, trace lateral cephalograms, and leave with a clear framework for case selection and treatment planning.

What Delegates Say

I attended the Orthodontics Masterclass with very little ortho experience and left feeling genuinely confident. The typodont sessions on Day Two were brilliant — exactly the kind of hands-on training you just cannot get from a webinar.
