If you’re serious about growing the orthodontic side of your practice, the right assistant training changes everything.
When your assistant truly understands Tip-Edge® orthodontics, you’re no longer carrying the entire workload yourself. From records and ceph tracing to banding, bracketing, and keeping cases moving efficiently, a trained assistant helps create smoother appointments, better workflows, and a stronger patient experience.
The result? Fewer bottlenecks, more productive days, and more time for diagnosis, treatment planning, and high-value procedures.
The AGpO Assistant’s Course is hands-on, practical, and built for real-world orthodontic workflows. Perfect for both beginners and experienced assistants needing a refresher, your team will leave with skills they can immediately apply in practice - not just theory.

Too many aligners. Too many attachments. Too many refinements. Cases taking too long. That’s exactly why we’re excited to have Dr. R. Bruce McFarlane with us at AGpO 2026 to present:

Good to Great: The Absolute Latest in Clear Aligner Orthodontics.

“Dr. Bruce” brings a unique perspective from running an orthodontic practice across three offices – two in Canada and one in California. What stands out even more is a quote from a video interview in his La Jolla office on his Instagram that states, “he believes confidence should be loud, bold, and impossible to ignore. Big sound equals big confidence. A big stage calls for a bold smile. And just like music, progress comes with practice.”

This will be a practical, high-value session focused on improving clear aligner workflows, outcomes, timelines, and profitability so you leave with ideas you can implement Monday morning.

Dr. McFarlane presents Saturday, September 26 from 8:30 am – Noon

If you’re serious about growing the orthodontic side of your general or pediatric practice, your assistant can make or break the experience for your patients and for you.

When your assistant understands Tip-Edge® orthodontics, you’re not the only one carrying the weight. They can help with records, ceph tracing, banding and bracketing, and the day‑to‑day details that keep cases on track and on time. It means smoother appointments, fewer stalls, and more time you have for diagnosing, treatment planning, and high‑value procedures.
The AGpO Assistant’s Course is hands‑on and practical. It is ideal for assistants who are brand new to ortho and for experienced team members who need a solid refresher. They’ll come back with skills they can put to work on Monday, not just a notebook full of theory.
