General Dentists & Orthodontics: Where Is The Line? | Orthodontics In Interview | Tif Qureshi
"Without orthodontics, dentists are working in a compromised environment."
.
"Minor objective orthodontics can be valuable, but the key is knowing what you should and should not treat."
.
"A two-day course is only an introduction. The real learning comes through mentoring, case assessment, and guided experience."
.
"Remote treatment planning is very different from mentoring.”
.
The general dentists performing orthodontics remains a debated topic in modern dentistry. Should general dentists provide orthodontic treatment? What level of orthodontics is appropriate? How can general dentists achieve safe and predictable outcomes for their patients?
