Advanced Module 9 - Non Extraction Orthodontics

Welcome to the Nadela Orthodontics Online Portal. This website features the Nadela Orthodontics Comprehensive Orthodontic Training Program. This online course will equip the participant to do quality orthodontic work upon completion.

In the module Non-Extraction Orthodontics we will be using appliances which can help us approach a case through non-extraction.

Of course, the profile is not a problem here. If this is only the case then we can learn how to use an RPE as well as a lip bumper
