TOP 5 REASONS TO INCORPORATE ORTHODONTICS INTO YOUR PRACTICE?
1. Patient want straight teeth
The orthodontic industry is moving towards Clear Aligner Treatment. Bracket sales are declining, and Aligner companies are growing dramatically. It is much easier to incorporate Aligner treatment into your practice, but you do need to have a good understanding of how to accurately diagnosis each case and the mechanics behind tooth movement in order to offer high quality Aligner solutions to your patients.
Of the more than 200,000 licensed dentists and orthodontists in the United States, only an estimated 30% offer clear aligner treatment in their offices. Founded in 2014, SmileDirectClub™ has helped more than 750,000 patients transform their smiles.
This means there is a huge number of patients in your practice who want straight teeth and not enough “highly trained” clinicians to provide the treatment that they want!

If you are a general dentist wanting to incorporate orthodontics into your practice, this is the course for you. I highly recommend the USDI courses. The knowledge gained from these courses are of utmost value
USDI was the best decision of my career. You cannot be a good dentist without knowing orthodontics. Period!
I started my dental career in 1992 and start taking CE courses with USDI and I strongly that this was one of my best decision I made as a private practitioner to incorporate ortho in my practice with USDI and I enjoyed the lifetime membership for continued education. I have recommended this course to several of my associates.
I have been a student at USDI for over thirty years. The quality of education provided is truly worthwhile and helpful in the practice of orthodontics. I have taken additional training from several of the instructors and have found that the training exceeds my expectations. Recently, I returned to take an aligner course (CA 101) that has opened another opportunity to provide options to my patients. USDI is well recommended!!
I joined USDI in 2005 and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn orthodontics. It’s been my best investment to learn continuously and gain confidence in orthodontics since repeating any course wouldn’t cost more. Thank you USDI!
