Led by Dr. Angshuman Bhattacharya, the programs cover aligners, biomechanics, and bracket techniques, with live demos—offering hands-on experience and digital skills for success in modern orthodontic practice.
At Mission Smile Dental Centre, based in Kolkata, we understand the global demand for skilled professionals in orthodontics. That’s why we offer internationally-oriented orthodontic training programs designed to meet the academic and clinical needs of students and practitioners in Australia. Whether you’re a dental assistant, a general dentist, or someone seeking orthodontic continuing education, our courses are tailored to provide cutting-edge skills and certification with a strong online component.
Our orthodontic certification courses in Australia cater to dental professionals seeking to upskill or transition into orthodontics. These courses for orthodontists and general practitioners blend theory and hands-on clinical experience, focusing on digital orthodontics, biomechanics, treatment planning, and appliance systems.
