30 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST EVENTS Growth Through Education ® OrthoED-Quarter-Page-Ad-AD-Magazine-November-2024-forprinter.indd 1 23/10/2024 10:35:01 AM Taking an aligner course in 2025 could be a great move if you’re interested in expanding your expertise in orthodontic treatments, especially given the increasing demand for clear aligners. The aligner market is growing and expanding very quickly. The projected growth across the globe is exponential. If you are interested in aligner education, then The OrthoED Institute can help. The OrthoED Institute has trained over 1,500 dentists over the past six years in orthodontics and clear aligner therapy. Offering a range of courses that will suit both beginners and also for those more experienced, The OrthoED Institutes courses will build your confidence and increase your knowledge making you even better clinical dentists who are more profitable. Below are some key reasons why doing an aligner course could be beneficial to your personal dentistry and for the practice: 1. Growing market: The popularity of clear aligners like Invisalign, Spark and Angel Aligner continues to grow. As more patients seek discreet orthodontic treatments, aligners have become a preferred choice for both teens and adults. 2. Advancements in technology: With each passing year, aligner technology is improving. By 2025, there could be even more sophisticated digital tools for planning and executing treatment, which could give you an edge. 3. Expand your skill set: If you’re a dentist, an aligner course would broaden your treatment options. This could make your practice more versatile and competitive. Why not do an aligner course in 2025? Ride the wave in aligner orthodontics – and not get dumped! 4. Increased patient satisfaction: Patients often prefer aligners due to their aesthetic appeal, convenience and reduced discomfort compared to traditional braces. Being certified to provide aligners could increase patient satisfaction and loyalty. 5. Flexible learning opportunities: With the rise of online education and hybrid courses, you can likely find aligner training programs that fit your schedule, whether they’re in-person, online, or a mix of both. The OrthoED Institute’s Aligner Essentials 3-day course prides itself on teaching sound principles and is offered across 3 cities (Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane), so you can choose to attend Face to Face. Alternatively, the livestreaming option is available, so you can attend the course via zoom…from the comfort of your own home or office. The choice is yours. “After completing 3-days of education in aligner therapy by Dr Martin Poon and myself, you will be able to treat over 80% of aligner cases in-house (to an exceptionally high standard), instead of sending your patient to your local orthodontist. Imagine what that could mean to your revenue? I believe in teaching principles, concepts and techniques and it will change your professional life.” says Dr Geoff Hall. There are 3 opportunities to complete the 3-day Aligner Essentials course in 2025 and earn 50 CPD Points: u Melbourne – 20th to 22nd February, 2025 – Pullman on the Park u Sydney – 31st July to 2nd August 2025 – Amora Hotel Jamison u Brisbane – 4th – 6th December, 2025 – Royal on the Park The OrthoED Institute also offers a Certificate in Clear Aligner Therapy if you would like to take your aligner confidence and skills to the next level. It involves an additional 2-day module called Advanced Aligners with assessments to follow. The certificate is given by UK accredited body EduQual. u For more information about any of our Aligner courses or our 2-year Mini Masters program, please visit our website www.orthoed.com.au, email us on robyn@orthoed.com.au or call + 61 3 9108 0475. 6. Potential for higher revenue: Offering aligners can increase your revenue, as they typically command higher prices than other orthodontic treatments. Many patients are willing to pay a premium for the comfort and appearance of clear aligners. However, aligner treatment requires a lot of knowledge. A dentist CANNOT rely on the AI of the aligner company – hence a course that teaches sound principles is essential if you want to provide excellent clinical results, efficiently, predictably and profitably.
