The Department of Orthodontics is dedicated to advancing the art and science of orthodontics through research, teaching, and service. Included in this website are exerpts from the department manual, a calendar of events, as well as a complete listing of all Master's theses published by Case graduates.
1. Provide clinical and didactic instruction in orthodontics for predoctoral and postdoctoral students.
2. Promote the discovery of new knowledge about facial growth and development through scientific research.
3. Serve the surrounding community as an educational resource and as a provider of quality orthodontic treatment.
The clinical training of orthodontic residents encompasses all aspects of current orthodontic practice including, full treatment cases with bands and brackets, early treatment, adult treatment, craniofacial anomalies, orthognathic surgery and TMJ/occlusion. The length of the orthodontic program is 30 months. Given this time frame the clinical teaching of orthodontics will be divided according to the importance of the above topics to the private practice of orthodontics. In a program of 30 months it is not possible to produce a seasoned and skilled orthodontist, therefore, our program strives to produce a competent beginner. Accordingly, the clinical load of patients is chosen to match the teaching goals of the department.
There is an option to extend the program to 36 months to satisfy European specialty training standards (ERASMUS).
