Orthopedic Dentistry focuses on the alignment of the teeth and the dental arches: the maxilla and the mandible. The practice of
this division includes diagnosis, prevention, interception, and correction of misaligned dentition and other abnormalities of the
developing or mature orofacial structures.
The main role of our division is to educate orthodontists who are proficient at treating the broad scope of occlusal and dentofacial
malocclusions. Special emphasis is placed on diagnosis and treatment planning, growth and development, biomechanics, and
occlusion, using research to help develop critical thinking.
