European Guidelines for Postgraduate Education in Orthodontics and their impact on the world

With the help of educators from all over Europe, the European Guidelines for Postgraduate Education in Orthodontics were created, and its influence spread far and wide. These recommendations, which promote evidence-based treatment and integrate the most recent developments in orthodontic research and technology, have enabled orthodontic instructors and postgraduate students globally to stay up to date with the quickly changing field of orthodontics. The World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) Guidelines for Postgraduate Orthodontic Education, which were released in 2009 and later revised in 2023, were also influenced by the European Guidelines. The use of these guidelines by postgraduate program directors around the world and by related educational, scientific, and administrative institutions will allow them to adapt their curricula to worldwide standard and to strive for excellence in themselves and our speciality.
