For over 50 years, the USDI has been at the forefront of orthodontic education. Building on decades of expertise, we have launched a comprehensive online beginner program designed to provide world-class training for General Dentists who want to expand their skillset and incorporate clinically sound orthodontics into their practice.

Joining the USDI Orthodontic Fellowship Program welcomes doctors into a global community committed to orthodontic excellence, clinical confidence, and long-term success.

The OFP is a comprehensive, modular six-month online certification developed by internationally recognized orthodontic education experts. Participants gain access to interactive learning videos, in-depth clinical articles, practical office templates, and assessment quizzes following each module – creating a structured and well-rounded educational experience.

Most importantly, the program includes ongoing instructor support and a dedicated Mentor, included in the cost of tuition. After completing each module, participants meet virtually with their assigned mentor to review questions, discuss clinical application, and determine appropriate cases to begin treating. This structured mentorship model keeps doctors engaged, accountable, and on track to complete all modules within six months. Most significantly, participants treat their first orthodontic case with mentor guidance – providing clarity, direction, and confidence at every stage.

The OFP builds a strong clinical foundation in diagnosis, treatment planning, biomechanics, and case execution. Its flexible, self-paced format allows clinicians to learn anytime, anywhere – making it practical to integrate comprehensive orthodontic training into even the busiest schedules.

The Orthodontic Fellowship Program is designed for General Dentists who want structured, comprehensive training to confidently incorporate orthodontics into their practice. No prior experience needed.

In short, this fellowship is for doctors who want to practice orthodontics with confidence, structure, and clinical depth — not trial and error.

Proven Experience Training General Practitioners
Our program is specifically designed for General Practitioners who want to confidently incorporate orthodontics into their practices. The USDI has over 50 years of experience in training GPs and helping them grow their clinical skills and practice.

Structured Mentorship & Accountability
Each participant has a scheduled one-on-one meeting with a mentor following the completion of every module. These sessions ensure you stay on track, reinforce key concepts, and provide dedicated time to have all clinical questions thoroughly addressed – so you never feel like you’re navigating cases alone. The instructors are accessible 24-hour a day for ongoing support with diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Access to Advanced Courses & Hands-On Training
Graduates gain access to advanced-level courses and hands-on clinical training opportunities designed to refine skills and expand case acceptance. This continued education pathway builds on your foundation so that you can confidently treat orthodontic cases in your practice.

The investment for the Orthodontic Fellowship Program is $2,499 for the full six-month certification, which includes all modules, assessments, ongoing instructor support, and the structured Mentor Program. You will have access to all material for a full year.

For added flexibility, you may choose 4 convenient monthly payments of $650, allowing you to begin the program immediately while spreading the investment over time. In fact, most doctors will have treated their first orthodontic case – and generated revenue from it – before the program is even completed, often covering the cost of tuition while still in training.
