Clinical Orthodontics Fellowships
CTOR offers three different Clinical Fellowship programs giving clinicians the opportunity to choose the program that best meets their career goals.
The Clinical Fellowship in Orthodontics is tailored to General Dentists and Pediatric Dentists interested in exploring a career in Orthodontics. This pre-residency program is the perfect introductory course to this exciting specialty and will prepare Fellows for the rigors of specialty training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
The Clinical Fellowship in Pediatric Orthodontics is designed for Orthodontists interested in learning about the untapped potential of interceptive and Orthodontics and Orthopedic treatment in growing children. This post-graduated continuing education program will prepare Fellows for a clinical practice shift providing them with skills to complete most Phase I treatment without needs for a second phase in braces.
The Advanced Fellowship in Non-Surgical Treatment of Dentofacial Deformities is tailored for Orthodontists who would like to continue their education and immerse themselves in the exciting field of Dentofacial Orthopedics. Fellows will learn about the latest orthopedic approaches and advanced biomechanics principles that expand the boundaries of Orthodontics and Orthopedic corrections of severe deformities in adults.
