Aims

To enhance dental teams' understanding of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN), optimise the quality and timing of orthodontic referrals, and strengthen collaboration between general dentists and orthodontists across the patient journey, including post-treatment retention and restorative care.

Objectives

The speaker will:


· Demonstrate the application of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) using clinical case photographs, and explain how to identify developing malocclusions that may require orthodontic referral.

· Describe the criteria for effective orthodontic referrals, including illustrating the use of the Southwest Regional Orthodontic Referral Form, and outline key considerations in referral timing, case selection, and pathway suitability.

· Facilitate discussion on communication strategies between general dentists and orthodontists, with a focus on developing collaborative approaches to care.

Present current guidance on orthodontic retention

Learning outcomes

By the end of this webinar participants will be able to:

  • Confidently assess and interpret IOTN scores in clinical practice.
  • Select and refer orthodontic cases appropriately, with reference to interceptive and comprehensive care pathways.
  • Communicate effectively with orthodontic colleagues to support continuity of care
  • Support patients with retention and understand their professional responsibilities in long-term orthodontic care.
