Cephalometric and model analyses are studied as the basis for providing knowledge of normal and abnormal facial development. Students participate in lectures and lead case analysis seminars and preclinical diagnostic exercises they conduct with DDS2 and International Dentist Advanced Placement Program students, designed to prepare them for future clinical practice.

This guided seminar course for students in Year 2 of the MSc Orthodontics program provides the students the ability to clearly identify clinical situations where early intervention will be most beneficial to patients, together with the limitations of such interventions. The objective is for students to be able to identify clinical situations where early and interceptive treatment is indicated, develop knowledge and familiarity with the treatment modalities available in interceptive orthodontics, become aware of the cost benefit analysis and the relation between early and definitive treatments and finally, to be able to apply appropriate early treatment optimally or to reassure and enlighten patients and parents when later treatment is more beneficial.

This lecture and seminar course for students in Year 3 of the MSc Orthodontics program comprises didactic and clinical components. Lectures are designed to provide participating students with a greater knowledge and understanding of the principles of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning as well as biology of tooth movement, orthodontic appliances, and the role of orthodontics in multidisciplinary treatment. The clinical component puts into practice knowledge gained from previous didactic courses in diagnosing cases suited for interceptive orthodontics through screening sessions the students conduct with DDS3 students, teaching them skills in examination and diagnosis for orthodontic patients. Case-based learning seminars are designed to foster a more indepth discussion of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Students also conduct a simulated treatment on an orthodontic case and teach DDS3 students all the steps involved with the treatment of a fully bonded orthodontic patient.
