Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
The advanced education program in orthodontics
and dentofacial orthopedics has existed for nearly five decades
and graduates are currently practicing in 36 states and four
foreign countries. This is a full-time, 26-month program that
begins in July. The computerized clinic facility is a working-research
model that simulates the private practice environment. Students
can also complete an M.S. degree in oral biology. The orthodontist
is a dentist specialized in the correction of poorly aligned
teeth, or jaws that are not developing properly. Orthodontic
treatment may include the use of braces, various appliances, or surgical techniques to improve the teeth's
function and appearance. For additional referral and treatment
information call 816/235-2141.
