ABOUT THIS CERTIFICATION
The demand and need for orthodontic treatment has increased significantly in recent years.
For this reason, it is necessary to develop knowledge, techniques and tools that enable patients to identify orthodontic problems, avoid future upheavals, rehabilitate oral function and maximize facial aesthetics, working in an interdisciplinary manner with other areas of Dentistry. Training in this area constitutes an essential "tool" for the dentist who aspires to professional excellence.

Modules
We believe that theory combined with intensive patient practice is essential for the professional growth of our students.
Thus, from the 4th module (inclusive) on, our students can count on a theoretical-practical component and intensive practice on patients, which allows our course to stand out from the rest of the training offer present in the market. Additionally, our course provides the tools for our students to learn from A to Z all the concepts of orthodontics, our main focus being on diagnosis, planning and implementation of orthodontic mechanics.
In order that the diagnosis is assertive, the students count with the support of digital tools such as the eDoctor software (offered by IPAS while the students attend the course).

Does this course allow the attribution of an academic degree and/or ECTS credits?
In accordance with the amendments to Decree-Law No. 74/2006, of 24 March, as amended by Decree-Law No. 65/2018, of 16 August, by virtue of what is stated in article 4(6) of the latter legal diploma, "It is reserved to higher education institutions the use of the terms "post-graduate", "post-graduate training" and others that suggest that higher education training is in question" , with the consequence that it is no longer possible to use those designations, or others that resemble them, by training institutes or centres that are not duly recognised and accredited higher education institutions. It also follows from that legal restriction that recognized and accredited higher education institutions may not be used to cover the operation of training courses, which are advertised and offered by those institutes or centres, as "post-graduate courses", "specializations", "post-graduate training courses", "advanced training courses", since, conjugated with article 45º1(f) of the above mentioned decree-law and articles 45º-A(4) and 45º-B(b), it will not be legally possible to award ECTS credits for such training.

The requirement imposed by IPAS is that students must have a degree or master's in dentistry, be registered with the Portuguese Dental Association and have professional liability insurance.
Who is this course aimed at?
The course developed by IPAS is a very transversal course that covers from the basics of Orthodontics to the resolution of complex cases. Thus, it is suitable for dentists who wish to start, as well as for those who wish to update and complement their skills in this specialty.
What makes the course developed by IPAS more appealing than other trainings?
It is the fact that it has a long duration, always has a theoretical or theoretical-practical component in all modules and has intensive clinical practice and teaching staff available to assist the dentist/student in solving cases ranging from simple to complex.
