Dr. Baumgaertel's TAD Certificate Course

After the first ever 'TAD Certificate Course' was so well attended and feedback was overwhelmingly positive, Dr. Baumgaertel will offer a second course early 2022. The orthodontic landscape is rapidly changing and orthodontic temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are becoming a staple in the modern orthodontic practice. Learn an evidence-based, practical approach to TADs directly from one of the leaders in the field without the need to travel. Dr. Baumgaertel has put together a comprehensive two-day online curriculum that will teach you everything you need to know to confidently and successfully use TADs in your practice.

This course will be taught virtually via the Zoom platform by Dr. Baumgaertel personally. Course language is English. The course is structured into 8 modules and will span 10 hours over two consecutive days at the conclusion of which every participant qualifies for the 'Certificate of TAD Proficiency'. Doctors from the United Kingdom will also receive a GDC compliant certificate upon request at no additional charge. This course is suitable for beginners and experts alike.
