It has been a really enjoyable journey learning clear aligner therapy from Dr Vandana Katyal with BOSS, especially the flexibility and support it offers. I have gained much greater confidence with treating patients with clear aligners as one of the armamentarium with orthodontic treatment.

I completed the BOSS UK Diploma in 2021 and when it became available, signed up for the AU course as well. I completed the AU course at the end of last year and can honestly say BOSS (now Digital Orthodontic College) has completely changed my approach to clear aligner treatments and increased my confidence with treatment planning immensely. The fact that the course is 100% online was a huge drawcard for me initially since I have two young children, work clinically part-time and run my own business. It allowed the flexibility to study when I had the chance and didn’t result in any loss of clinical time. Dr V is extremely passionate about orthodontics and more importantly sharing her wisdom and that comes through in her approach to teaching. The course is extremely comprehensive (NB: the AU course has quite a few complex assessments) and covers everything starting from the basics of tooth movement which sets a good foundation and is therefore suitable even for beginners. The monthly/bimonthly webinars allow students to share cases and is a safe space, non-judgmental and therefore an incredible learning platform. I had been doing clear aligner treatments prior to starting this course, but BOSS helped me see patients with new eyes and has overhauled my treatment planning approach. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in learning, or extending their knowledge about, clear aligner treatments. Thank you so much Dr V!

The Australian accredited 10905NAT Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatment offers comprehensive training in the field, gives the candidate the opportunity to do things in a self-paced manner, while getting a personalised 1-on-1 learning experience with Dr Vandana Katyal. It was an excellent choice for me and gave me the flexibility to get the well-designed training done in my own time frame. I would strongly recommend the course to any practitioners who is looking to upskill themselves with a no-compromise high quality course, while also having to juggle between busy practices and family schedules.

I have been looking for a comprehensive course to increase my confidence in using aligners beyond Class I cases. BOSS has been amazing. The information is evidence based, but Vandana also teaches how to approach each patient holistically and individually. The online format is very convenient and being self paced makes it easy to incorporate into my life. Thank you Vandana!

I really enjoyed completing BOSS in 2020 owing to the courses logical structure, readily accessible online information and the enthusiastic educators. Having had little experience with clear aligners at the time, the comprehensive course equipped me with the skills to competently select suitable cases to treat and finish to a high standard confidently. Thanks Dr V and the team at BOSS 🙏.

I have only started the course a few months ago but have learned so much. The regular case discussion webinars are so insightful and Dr. V is extremely generous in her teaching. I like this course because most of learning is done online 24/7. I am really looking forward to the one on one coaching session and the in office visit to her clinic.

I chose Boss's clear aligner diploma because I wanted to know the latest evidence based practice to enhance my treatment planning and case execution. I now have a much better understanding of how to diagnose, what movements can be done and what will get me into trouble. The flexible nature of the course delivery also fit perfectly into full time work and my otherwise packed schedule. The monthly case presentation webinars are also great to not only get feedback from Dr Katyal, but also to validate your own thoughts self-assess and see how you are tracking with your learning.

I came into BOSS having done quite a lot of simple aligner cases on my own, but I had not done any formal training previously. With the experience I had, I knew what I wanted to learn and what I wanted to get better at. The BOSS course has helped me specifically with understanding aligner mechanics and treatment planning in such a way that my treatment outcomes are more predictable. I can now take on more cases that I previously would have been worried about starting, with more confidence. This course will be really useful to anyone regardless of your experience in orthodontics. Thank you Dr Vandana and the BOSS team!

BOSS Club is the perfect follow up to the BOSS PG Diploma in Digital orthodontics.Being an absolute beginner in orthodontics the BOSS PG Diploma gave me all the foundational knowledge I needed in good diagnosis treatment planning. BOSS club provided me with ongoing mentorship and confidence to take on cases with easy to moderate complexity.The most useful part of BOSS club is the one to one portal with Dr Katyal. Dr Katyal was very prompt at responding to every single question I had throughout the year despite us being in deferent time zones! The 10 coaching cases really helped me consolidate the knowledge I had assimilated the previous year.BOSS Diploma and BOSS club together has provided me with invaluable knowledge and experience under a very carefully mentored setting and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to provide orthodontic treatment safely and effectively.Dr Dhivya Mathew BDS MFDS PG Dip Orth

I just wanted to say thank you to you Dr Vandana. I joined this course purely to get more knowledge with clear aligners as my mind was just not allowing me to start doing invisalign with a 2 days course. I never liked so much orthodontics since dental school but with my increased interest and passion with cosmetic dentistry it forced me to learn more about alignment so I could design my cases with some sort of alignment and tx. planning going as a pre- restorative phase, that would enable me to understand more of the smile designing concept, as to understand smile design you do need the concept of orthodontics in my opinion as well.I would say with the basic concepts of smile designing already present in my mind has definitely helped me a lot understanding most the cases a lot better. I promised myself that I would never do fixed braces, if I ever do ortho I will only do clear aligners. I always thought that I am happy do only 20- 30 % of the cases that can be with clear aligners. Rest I will just refer. But now I don't feel the same anymore. Its been just over & months since I started this course, I already feel a much better dentist now. I see every case in the clinic so much differently, and mostly with diagnosis and tx. planning even if I refer the case. I am very sure by the time I finish this 12 months diploma I will be so much more knowledgable to be able to understand the concepts of invisalign far better then what I initially anticipated. I do try to read textbooks along the way as well to get the basic concepts right. A lot of times in dentistry for me is not all about the numbers, its the quality of work you can produce, and for me your diploma genuinely answers my question when I think about this concept. So I would really like to thank you

I recently completed the 3 day starter course with Dr Vandana Katyal and BOSS and safe to say my knowledge and confidence about treating simple orthodontic cases with clear aligners has increased tremendously! Dr Katyal is an incredible, motivational and a very approachable speaker with immense knowledge in the field of Orthodontics. I would recommend BOSS to every dentist no matter their level of experience with Orthodontics and clear aligners. Dr Katyal is such a BOSS lady, go and experience the magic for yourself and enrol!

Dr Vandana goes above and beyond with BOSS! In the platform, we have access to amazing recorded lectures, scientific articles, and pdf files with pretty much all the information you can think of. Each class will teach you different important points for you to learn when starting clear aligner journey. As Dr Vandana keeps saying, there is no cookbook approaches, so she teaches you to think how to achieve the outcome you want. I've been learning so much from it. It's been spectacular!!But more than just valuable recorded classes, we also have monthly zoom meetings to discuss clinical cases, and we have access to a slack channel, so we are a community! It's definitely not a course that you sign up and are forgotten.When I started, Dr Vandana hold my hand to show me the right path, I could clearly see how passionate she is about teaching/BOSS/dentistry/ clear aligners. She's all about caring. I couldn't be more satisfied. This diploma will take you where you want to go! Absolutely the best!!!! Highly recommend.

The BOSS PGDip2020 course with Dr. Vandana Katyal is continuing to be a great experience! Going into the course I was completely out of depth with ortho as I am a beginner. With Dr. Vandana's guidance and evidence based approach I have learnt a lot and it has given me a good grounding in basics. I have been able to learn good diagnostics, treatment planning, clear aligner mechanics and pay attention to detail. It has given me the ability as a general practitioner to start treating cases safely with predictable outcomes. The online learning portal is truly a treasure of information, articles, case studies and videos which can be accessed anytime. This is really helping me in my learning journey. The passion that Dr. Vandana has for teaching and the excellence she is committed to is like nothing else I have seen before. Looking forward to learning more from her!

Having completed the PGDip Dig.Orth. (UK) program in 2019 under the tutelage of Dr. Vandana, I can wholeheartedly recommend the course to any dentist wishing to further their understanding of clear aligner therapy. The course was well structured and evidence based throughout, from diagnosis to treatment planning with a strong focus on smile design, aligner mechanics and through to safe delivery of aligner therapy and retention protocols. Specialist guest speakers covered the various aspects of interdisciplinary management of cases along with the importance of recognising and highlighting potential complications at the outset of treatment. The in-office component of the course was a revelation, with many practical insights gained from an orthodontist and team that plainly live and breath clear aligner therapy. Dr. Vandana successfully balances a progressive philosophy, embracing technology and its benefits, while always maintaining an evidence based approach to treatment. From early on in the year, my confidence with providing clear aligner therapy increased dramatically. Seeing our patients enjoy the benefits of treatment has been heartwarming - truly feel good dentistry. Thank you Dr. V. for a great year!

This course has taken my knowledge of clear aligner orthodontics to the next level. In a field which is historically protected/guarded by the orthodontic profession Dr Vandana is very generous with her years of specialist knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend this to every dentist wanting to incorporate clear aligners in their practice.

Good Value for money. BOSS has organised lectures, webinars and hand-on in sequences. It is best for busy dentists. Dr V has devoted her time for coaching session and sharing the VDO coaching on group page. I don't feel that I miss out anything. Dr Mo's lecture is very well evident based, easy to understand. Thanks to Dr Vandana and Dr Mohammad Albuzian for your time and being a great lecturer.

Having always steered away from clear aligners and only stick with fixed braces, I've finally decided to give aligners a go this year. BOSS is extremely practical, informative and backed up by heaps of research. Dr. V is a great mentor, she's always helpful and truthful. The team at BOSS and CCC smiles are just amazing, always there to help you whenever you need, even if it was a question that's be repetitively asked many many times =p. I would highly recommend BOSS to anyone who wishes to start their journey in digital orthodontics. With Dr. V and her team behind me, my confidence level is soooo much higher and I feel like I am delivering my treatment to a higher standard and overall making me a better clinician. Thank you Dr. V!! =))

Since I have joined the postgraduate diploma in orthodontics I have noticed all the applied practical learning/knowledge on my patients and I am only half way through the year.Dr Vandana is a genuine educator. She goes way beyond to simplify every lecture and I really like her evidence based information and that is available for us 24/7.Her webinars helped a lot for busy dentist and loved the feedback we get in the one on one sessions with our cases. It make us think every step of the way.But the best thing I like is to see she is giving back to the community and her association with Smile train In helping children with cleft palate is just beyond words. Thank you so much for being nice and approachable.

I attended all the BOSS Courses in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. All the information presented was concise, engaging and most importantly evidence-based. Dr V was not only so generous with all the tips and experience she passed on during the course but was always available to help out in any way she could. The whole BOSS team made sure everything ran perfectly and were on top of everything. A very well run and valuable course for any dentists looking to learn more about ortho. Can’t wait to continue on next year with BOSS 2019!

Dr Katyal’s courses are always very practical, interactive and based on up to date evidence. I have completed other orthodontic courses and I have found the structure and organisation of BOSS to be superior. Whilst Dr Katyal is very encouraging of GP dentists doing orthodontic treatment, she ensures that we understand our scope of practice, which allows patients to have the best outcomes. Looking forward to doing more BOSS courses in future!

I joined BOSS in 2018 for the full year, and the wealth of knowledge that Vandana shares is immeasurable! This course is perfect for absolute beginners and also those with more experience, and Vandana caters it perfectly for the whole group. All her information is evidence based and very relatable for general dentists, giving you information that those “generic” 1-3 day clear aligner courses cannot give you. BOSS is a very comprehensive course. I highly recommend it, I plan to join BOSS again!

I have just attended the BOSS weekend in Melbourne and it was so good . Dr Vandana is a wonderful speaker , so down to earth and humble and honest .She shares, as she calls it , the good the bad and the ugly and really shows you what you need to know clinically without making you feel intimidated. She inspires confidence while at the same time helping you to understand your limitations. Crawl, walk,run. Wise words indeed . Thankyou Dr Vandana .

I have been attending BOSS Courses since early 2016, and am so pleased to have found Vandana and her team!As Orthodontics is such a vast study in itself, BOSS breaks it down into practical and easy to understand concepts, which allows you to become more aware of the orthodontic status of all your patients that come through the door.I have found so much confidence in being able to deliver orthodontic treatment to my patients after attending BOSS.If you're someone who hasn't done any orthodontics and are looking for starter courses, this course is fantastic. It is also a great opportunity for those who have had orthodontic experience in the past (like myself) to enhance, grow and learn more!Aside from all the clinical aspect of Orthodontics, Vandana has done a fantastic job with incorporating team building and branding to the courses, allowing your practice to grow with your orthodontic skillset.Vandana is a captivating and approachable speaker. The group size is perfect to be able to discuss and interact with everyone in the room, something that is so hard to find these days!

Many thanks to BOSS and Dr Vandana Katyal for providing me with a great learning platform for clear aligners. With a previous background in fixed orthodontics, I have always been interested in incorporating clear aligners to give my patients all options when it comes to providing orthodontic treatment in my practice. After attending BOSS lectures, Dr Katyal has helped grow my confidence in using clear aligners by providing one on one mentoring on clin-checks and also going through some of her own cases that she is treating with Invisalign which has been an eye opener for myself. I have now got multiple cases of Invisalign undergoing and I don't shy away in presenting clear aligners as a treatment option for patients requiring orthodontic treatment in my practice.

I am a general dentist in Sydney and a BOSS student in 2016 and now 2017! For the past year BOSS has supported me though my introduction to clear aligners. No other course to my knowledge offers the one-on-one mentorship and case support provided by Dr. Katyal, which is tailored to your level of experience. The program gives you the confidence to provide complex and quality treatment of a Specialist standard. Cannot recommend it highly enough!!
