Introduction:

The different types of education at work and their modalities for training and development of skills in the specialty of Orthodontics, from virtual teaching-learning environments, constitute a challenge for professors.

Objective:

To propose an alternative for developing skills in the specialty of Orthodontics from a virtual teaching-learning environment.

Development:

An alternative is proposed for the first academic year of the Orthodontics specialty, which includes the different skills to be taught and developed, according to forms of teaching organization, those that go through activities (database, forum, task) and virtual resources (file, folder or task) divided into moments, as well as the type of evaluation. In all these teaching activities, with the exception of education at work, the inverted class modality is used.

Conclusions:

In the specialty of Orthodontics, the resident must develop different skills that could also be achieved from virtual teaching-learning environments. Some of the ways for achieving this could be those proposed in this article.
