After delivering specialisation courses in Lingual Orthodontics in Portugal over the past 4 years, we have decided to combine efforts to establish a new school, the “TMCS Dental School FACOP,” with the goal of becoming an International Centre for Advanced Training and Professional Specialisation in Dental Medicine.

Focused on enhancing and qualifying professional training for newly graduated dentists and others, we will provide access to the most recent and innovative techniques and methodologies. TMCS Dental School FACOP in Portugal will be integrated among the top international scientific communities, with a faculty that includes both national and internationally renowned specialists of the highest calibre.

Additionally, we aim to recognise the competence of Portuguese professionals who collaborate with us daily and have the opportunity to become more skilled and specialised in their fields of practice.
