Frequently asked questions

How much does a orthodontics / aligners course cost in the UK?

Across the 22 verified orthodontics / aligners hands-on courses listed here, published fees run from £395 to £15,995. Shorter hands-on courses sit at the lower end; university-validated diplomas and master's programmes sit at the top. Some providers only quote on enquiry, and those are shown as "fee on enquiry" rather than a guess.

Do these courses count as GDC verifiable CPD hours?

Where a provider states verifiable CPD hours we show them — in this group they range from 7 to 147 hours. The GDC expects you to keep your own record of verifiable CPD with aims, objectives and outcomes, so check the provider's certificate details before you book. Where hours are not published we leave the field blank instead of assuming.

Can I study orthodontics / aligners online?

Yes — 3 of the 22 listed orthodontics / aligners hands-on courses are delivered online or as a hybrid of online teaching and hands-on days. Practical skills such as preparation, placement and suturing are almost always taught in person, so expect at least some attendance on the clinical courses.

How long do these courses take?

It varies by format: 1 day; Face-to-face teaching blocks plus online workshops; 2 years. One-day courses are the quickest route to verifiable hours, while certificates, diplomas and master's programmes run from several months to a few years part time.

Where do these courses run, and when do they start?

Teaching locations include Cardiff, London, London; Manchester, Loughborough, Manchester, Nottingham and more. 12 of these courses have published start dates, listed on each course page. Popular hands-on courses fill months ahead, so check dates before you plan study leave.
