Abstract:
With the rapid development of information technology,WeChat official accounts have emerged as an essential tool in the education sector,standing out among numerous platforms due to their simplicity and versatile functions.This paper examines the chal-lenges in traditional orthodontic practice teaching and explores innovative approaches and practical outcomes of empowering undergradu-ate orthodontic practice teaching through WeChat official accounts.Educators utilize the platform to upload instructional videos on arch-wire bending,creating a"mobile and shared"teaching platform that provides students with additional support for self-learning and clin-ical practice.Through personalized instruction,students develop a"mind-eye-hand"three-dimensional operational skillset.The study reveals that empowering orthodontic education with WeChat official accounts effectively enhances students' learning interest,optimizes classroom time,and facilitates a mutual workload reduction for both teachers and students during teaching reforms.Furthermore,it pro-motes the homogenization,flexibility,and ecological development of teaching content.This model demonstrates promising application prospects and offers new ideas and practical pathways for digital innovation and transformation in dental education.
