Orthodontics Predoctoral ProgramThe purpose of the predoctoral program in orthodontics is to enable the general practitioner of dentistry to recognize, diagnose, and competently treat simple malocclusions of the teeth.Lecture courses provide the student with learning basic concepts of dental and facial growth as well as treatment-oriented subject matter. In a laboratory course, diagnostic records are taken and evaluated and treatment appliances are fabricated. The department supervises a program for clinical treatment of selected patients.
Graduate ProgramThe purpose of the graduate program in orthodontics is to educate specialists who are capable of diagnosing and treating any malocclusion of the teeth requiring comprehensive care. The specialist should be familiar with and be able to critically analyze biologic, biomechanic, diagnostic, and treatment concepts in orthodontics.Satisfactorily completing a 24 month period of intensive study, including lecture courses, seminars, clinical practicum, and a thesis based on an original research project, qualifies the student for an M.S. degree. Opportunities are available for research and independent study in the department, and there are special facilities for research in biomechanics and craniofacial growth. Interacting with other departments provides learning and research opportunities in surgical orthodontics, cleft lip and palate treatment, speech pathology, animal experimentation, and human growth. |
