Advanced
Education -
Orthodontics
The program in
Orthodontics is a
twenty-four month course
of study beginning in July
of each year. The program
is designed to offer a
broad foundation in the
basic sciences and to
provide a background of
detailed knowledge
essential to the
understanding of
orthodontics. Primary
emphasis is on clinical
training, which is
correlated with and
supplemented by lecture,
seminar, demonstration,
and conference
instruction. Mastery of
the edgewise appliance is
stressed. Treatment with
functional appliances is
also emphasized as an
augmentation to fixed
appliance therapy. In
addition to the treatment
of routine orthodontic
problems, each student
treats several patients
with severe malocclusions,
requiring a combined
orthodontic-surgical
approach to therapy. Guest
lecturers introduce other
appliance techniques
currently used throughout
the world. Some of the
courses offered over the
two-year period are
orthodontic theory and
diagnosis, orthodontic
technique, biomechanics,
surgical orthodontics,
craniofacial
morphogenesis, anatomy,
and statistics. Each
student must also complete
a research project. The
program is fully
accredited by the ADA
Commission on Dental
Accreditation (CODA). All
applicants must take the
Graduate Record
Examination; foreign
studens must take the
TOEFL.
