Orthodontics is that dental specialty which includes the diagnosis, prevention, interception, guidance and correction of mal-relationships of the developing or mature orofacial structures.

The residency programme in Orthodontics was launched in 2003 following the induction of a full-time Orthodontist in 2002 to meet the needs of education, patient care, and research in the field of orthodontics. 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. State-of-the-art knowledge and research findings are applied to patient care in all age groups. Residents learn a variety of treatment modalities under the supervision of experienced and outstanding faculty.
