Orthodontic allegations raised against registrants by the General Dental Council

Abstract:
An allegation calling a dental professional's Fitness to Practise (FtP) into question is probably one of the most stressful events a General Dental Council (GDC) registrant could face during their career. The practise of dentistry is experiencing unprecedented levels of complaints against registrants with orthodontics traditionally being seen as a low risk area. However, as a recently appointed clinical advisor and expert witness to the GDC, I can testify this may no longer be the case. The last twelve months has seen me provide advice on seven cases associated with orthodontics. This review of frequently occurring allegations in cases being investigated by the GDC should stimulate greater levels of awareness for all members of the dental team and increase the standard of care being provided to our patients.
