Moreover, the course aims at theoretical and practical training in the treatment of some simple dentoalveolar malocclusions and the understanding of the possibilities offered by orthodontic therapy in the treatment of functional and complex occlusal abnormalities (such as patients with clefts or orthognathic abnormalities). Finally, the student is taught the basics regarding side effects and first aid during orthodontic treatment.
