Topics covered will include:
1) How to recognise cases suitable for using removable appliances
2) How do these appliances work?
3) How to prescribe the correct removable appliance
4) What do I put in the laboratory slip?
5) How do I correct and identify issues with the appliance
A variety of different appliances will be discussed along with different clinical examples using said appliances to reinforce the clinical aspect.
