Free Online Orthodontic Courses & Webinars

Orthodontics is a discipline where even small improvements in diagnosis or biomechanics can meaningfully change clinical outcomes. This page gives dentists direct access to free orthodontic clinical videos, webinar recordings, and introductory lessons — a practical starting point to build foundational knowledge, refresh protocols, and identify where to go deeper.

The Value of Free Orthodontic Learning

Not every learning goal requires a full course commitment. Free clinical content serves a different but important purpose: it lets you quickly absorb expert reasoning, benchmark your current thinking against leading clinicians, and explore new topics without friction.

For general dentists considering orthodontic expansion, free videos offer a low-barrier entry into clinical logic — case selection, aligner fundamentals, and biomechanics thinking — before committing to structured training. For specialists, short-form expert sessions are an efficient way to stay current on evolving protocols and pick up perspective from clinicians outside your usual network.

This content is designed for dentists — general dentists and orthodontic specialists. It is educational material, not a patient treatment resource.

What You Can Learn for Free

Free orthodontic content on OHI-S spans a wide range of clinical topics, including:

• Biomechanics essentials — core principles of tooth movement, force systems, and clinical decision-making
• Aligner therapy fundamentals — planning logic, staging concepts, and tips for improving predictability
• Skeletal anchorage concepts — introductory-level overviews of TADs and mini-implants: when and why to consider them
• Diagnosis and treatment planning — face-driven thinking, cephalometric reasoning, and CBCT applications where relevant
• Finishing and torque control — high-level principles for improving detailing consistency and reducing revisions
• Protocol orientation — overview-level introductions to frameworks like Pitts protocols and the MEAW concept
• Interceptive and early orthodontics — key concepts for dentists recognizing developing malocclusions
• Digital orthodontics — chairside refinement concepts and workflow thinking

If a session includes CE credit, it is clearly marked on the individual course page. Not every free video carries CE — check the course page for eligibility.

How to Use This Page Effectively

Free content works best when it has a direction. Here is a practical approach:

1. Start with a clinical question — identify a challenge you face regularly: aligner troubleshooting, finishing inconsistency, case selection uncertainty. Browse by topic rather than at random.
2. Watch one expert session — a 20–60 minute clinical video from a specialist working through real cases gives you more transferable thinking than a passive overview.
3. Note what you don't yet know — free content often surfaces gaps. Those gaps are your next learning priorities.
4. Map to a structured course — when a topic clearly needs more depth, move from free exploration to focused structured learning. Explore Online Orthodontics Courses →
5. Consider a live event — for hands-on mechanics, finishing technique, or direct faculty interaction, in-person formats offer what video cannot. View Orthodontics In-Person Events →

Learn from Expert Clinicians

Even short expert sessions on OHI-S reflect real clinical depth — these are internationally recognized specialists presenting the frameworks they use in active practice, not scripted overviews. Faculty include Jaz Gulati, Chris Chang, Jeremy S. Manuele, Kleber Meireles, Jeffrey P. Okeson, and David Angelo — covering aligner therapy, diagnosis and treatment planning, chairside protocols, and clinical decision-making.

~140,000 dentists engage with OHI-S content each month, making it one of the most active professional learning communities in dentistry worldwide.

Ready to Go Further?

Free clinical videos give you direction. Structured courses and live events take you from orientation to genuine clinical depth.
