Dr Swati Anand came to the IAS Academy Fixed Level 1 course to build a solid foundation in the mechanics, and left with exactly that.
“My motivation came from recognising the limitations of aligner-only orthodontics,” she says. “Not every case is suitable for aligners, and even when they are, treatment can be slower and less predictable. Developing fixed appliance skills felt essential for offering comprehensive orthodontic care rather than relying on a single modality.”
Her goals were also to improve confidence in case selection and bracket positioning, and gain clarity on the theory behind both fixed and aligner therapy. All were met. “The course provided clear, structured teaching that made fixed appliance principles feel logical and applicable in practice,” she says. “The hands-on elements, clinical demonstrations, and faculty guidance were particularly valuable.”
Dr Anand left with measurably greater confidence. “I now feel better equipped to offer balanced, evidence-based orthodontic options to my patients, and to choose the right tool for the right case.
“The IAS Academy provides structured, ethical, and clinically relevant training that genuinely supports safe orthodontic practice. I would recommend it absolutely.”
