From the HOD’s desk

Welcome to the department of Orthodontics and Dento-facial Orthopedics. Our department is mainly concerned with the treatment of malocclusions and dento-facial deformities and we provide contemporary orthodontic care to over a hundred patients every month. A robust OPD ensures that more than 300 new cases are added each year resulting in ample clinical material for our trainee post-graduates. Our residents and faculty treat a wide variety of cases ranging from simple malocclusions to the most complex orthodontic problems. The department employs the latest techniques and advancements in orthodontic therapy such as Nemoceph software for treatment planning, lingual technique, self-ligation, micro-implants, Aligners, orthognathic surgery and more to ensure the best clinical care to our patients and vast clinical exposure to our residents. The post-graduate program aims to train students to become competent and astute orthodontists while the under-graduate program imparts sufficient skill and knowledge to treat simple cases, co-ordinate treatment with specialists in more complex cases and to make appropriate referrals. As a post-graduate student, you can look forward to an enjoyable and rewarding experience while learning to become excellent clinicians.
