2027 Comprehensive Master Program (Damon + Spark)|Dr. Chris Chang
Course overview
Taught personally by internationally renowned orthodontist Dr. Chris Chang for more than 20 years, this master program is the signature course series of Yong Chieh and AMS (Arcline the Master Series). The 2027 Comprehensive Master Program is fully redesigned: ten Thursday modules that continue complete training in Damon™ fixed appliances (Modules 1–7) and, for the first time, add Spark™ Clear Aligners (Modules 8–10).
Each module is case-driven, moving from diagnosis and analysis to treatment planning and execution. Video review, computer-based training and teaching assistants help participants get up to speed quickly.
Seats are limited. This is the one chance each year to take Dr. Chris Chang’s complete master program in Taiwan.
