Free orthodontic CE today essentially means clear aligner CE. The aligner companies and their materials partners have built out serious course libraries on case selection, attachment design and placement, interproximal reduction, staging and retention — because every general dentist they train is a customer. Dentsply Sirona’s SureSmile education series is particularly extensive, running from “developing your skills” fundamentals through to distalisation mechanics and occlusion-focused finishing.
Two honest observations from the clinical side. First, the attachment and IPR technique courses are genuinely worth your time even if you never touch that company’s aligner system — bonding attachments accurately and stripping enamel safely are transferable skills. Second, watch for the interdisciplinary content (ortho-restorative planning, aligners before implants): it’s some of the best free thinking available on treatment sequencing, a topic that paid courses often charge heavily for.
