This course in orthodontics is designed for pediatric dentistry specialty students and builds upon both didactic and clinical components learned in Years 1 and 2. Topics include history taking, orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, facial morphology, growth, and development. Pediatric dentistry students are introduced to clinical orthodontics through patient assignment focused on Phase I treatments. In Year 3, the focus will be on completion of clinical cases. Each student will be required to complete 2/3 of "New" patient assignments and a reasonable effort to complete assigned "Transfer" patients. The orthodontic records must be completed to the American Board of Orthodontics Standards.
