Orthodontics Module

This two-part module combines a theory exam with a hands-on portion. After passing the components, you can apply to your regulatory body to practice orthodontics in a clinical setting.

What You Will Learn

The orthodontic theory component is a guided, self-study course administered through eClass. It’s recommended that you take at least three months before your desired exam date to complete the theory component and written exam.

After passing the theory exam, you can register and attend the in-person clinical component. You will get hands-on practice with separators banding, bonding, radiology, digital scanners, photography and archwires.

Exams

Exams are held at the University of Alberta on the first Monday of each month. You can also arrange another testing centre, such as other universities, colleges, libraries or schools. 

The exam must be completed a minimum of three weeks before attending the in-person clinical component, and once you pass, you have one year to enroll in the clinical portion.
