Questions
Yes, within their competence. GDC standards require dentists to work within their training and experience, so most start with straightforward aligner cases under mentorship and refer complex cases to a specialist orthodontist.
Under the GDC Enhanced CPD scheme dentists need 100 hours of verifiable CPD in each five-year cycle, with at least 10 hours in any two consecutive years. Check that the provider issues a certificate that states the hours, the learning outcomes and the GDC development outcomes it maps to.
CPD courses develop skills for general practice. Becoming a specialist orthodontist requires a three-year approved training programme and entry to the GDC specialist list.
