The program in Orthodontics is a two year program beginning in June of each year. The program is designed to meet the requirements of the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association, the American Board of Orthodontics and the American Association of Orthodontists.
The curriculum is designed to present the theory and practice of orthodontic treatment encompassing the major systems of mechanotherapy. Basic and related sciences fundamental to orthodontics are stressed and presented on a postgraduate level. The emphasis in this program is placed on the total educational experience for the student rather than an emphasis on technical training. Hospital orientation and training in cleft palate rehabilitation are included.
