Students put their learning into practice during the training course. The learning process began with the diagnosis of malocclusion, developing and discussing different treatment plans based on the patient's age, type of malocclusion, and various techniques.
The five-day curriculum covered all orthodontic issues in adolescents and adults, from transverse to sagittal, and finally to vertical problems, in addition to the application of TADs, miniscrew placement, and extraction versus non-extraction treatment approaches.

The professors introduced numerous diagnostic methods, treatment plans, and personalized approaches used in orthodontic treatment. They also taught the doctors how to correctly integrate the characteristics of important oral and maxillofacial anatomical structures to build a comprehensive orthodontic mindset, thereby achieving optimal treatment outcomes.
For the orthodontic course focused on patients at peak growth stages, the instructors employed the most innovative sequential treatment protocols, reviewing common clinical malocclusions in chronological order and providing targeted treatments.
The course also covered topics relevant to patients with permanent dentition (i.e., adolescents and adults), focusing on periodontal and orthodontic issues, with a preference for comprehensive treatment approaches that aim not only for aesthetics but also for function and restoration, achieving complete oral-systemic health.
