In the recent past, fragmented, uncoordinated, over-simplified and often grossly misleading "short" courses were all that were available to the dentist interested in the addition of orthodontic services into his/her practice.

It is ludicrous (and dangerous) to think that a dentist can prepare to practice orthodontics at the same level of excellence as the other aspects of his/her dental practice via some "simple, quick-fix" process. The process of dental education has evolved into a full-time, four year experience with the trend now in the direction of an additional one-year general practice residency. Orthodontic specialty programs are generally two or three years of full-time study.

F.O.R.C.E. is the first and only extended continuing education program patterned after a graduate school education and presented by qualified, credentialed specialists with clinical and university educational experience.

F.O.R.C.E. programs:

  1. •Provide you with an education that goes way beyond "training" — you will understand orthodontics, and you will be able to think, rather than act, first

  2. •Teach you to use protocols and procedures clearly supported by clinical and basic science data, so that within the limits of biological certainty, responses to treatment will be predictable

  3. •Present the state of the art and science of orthodontics, as it is taught in today's university programs and practiced by today's specialists

  4. •Guide you to a comfort and confidence level supported by knowledge rather than opinion, as you select and choose to treat the kinds of orthodontic problems which should be treated by the non-specialist

  5. •Offer optional extended support programs (Study Groups and Clinical Programs), built upon the educational foundation provided in the Introductory and Basic programs

  6. •Offer the participant the opportunity to earn while learning

  7. •Help you to intelligently and happily refer those cases which require the experience and skills of the orthodontic specialist
