Abstract
Social media is increasingly imbedded in our daily routines. Facebook groups can harness the benefits of connectivity and community as well as diverse knowledge, practices and opinions to powerful effect. A plethora of excellent groups now exist offering diverse information relating to practice management, daily troubleshooting, evidence-based practice, clinical tips and new technologies. The experiences of the authors in developing groups focusing on clinical orthodontic application of theoretical knowledge and the implementation of cutting-edge digital practice are discussed. Suggestions for shaping complementary resources are also outlined.
