The undergraduate orthodontic courses at Toronto and Liverpool are compared. Each course comprises more than 250 hours of teaching and within that, more than 100 hours involve clinical tuition. Both courses contain laboratory modules for the teaching of removable and fixed appliance technique. Undergraduates treat their own patients with both simple and complex appliances, within their clinical training period which extends over at least 2 years. Liverpool undergraduates treat more patients per student than their counterparts in Toronto (P < 0.05). During the third year of study, the clinical experience of the Liverpool students (P < 0.001) is made up of a greater proportion of patients treated with removable appliances. In both centres, senior students treat patients with a greater preponderance of fixed appliance techniques and two-arch treatments.
对多伦多大学和利物浦大学的本科正畸课程进行了比较。每门课程的教学时长均超过250小时，其中临床教学时长超过100小时。两门课程都包含可摘矫治器和固定矫治器技术教学的实验模块。本科生在至少为期两年的临床培训期间，使用简单和复杂矫治器治疗自己的患者。利物浦大学的本科生人均治疗患者数量多于多伦多大学的本科生（P < 0.05）。在学习的第三年，利物浦大学学生的临床经验中（P < 0.001），使用可摘矫治器治疗的患者比例更高。在两个中心，高年级学生治疗的患者中，固定矫治器技术和双牙弓治疗的比例更高。
