Fall/Spring. This course includes comprehensive lecture, laboratory and clinical components. Lectures include clinical applications of growth and development, diagnosis and treatment planning, bi-mechanics of tooth movement, orthodontics materials as a fundamental underpinning for assessing and treating as part of comprehensive care. Students learn a variety of techniques for space and habit management, and limited corrective orthodontic procedures adjunctive to general practice. These are reinforced in a hands-on laboratory in which students correct tipped molars, minor crowding and spacing. Students are introduced to the basic concepts of management of complex malocclusions and craniofacial deformities and learn to assess case difficulty. In the clinic students provide orthodontic consultations on all pediatric patients and have an opportunity to treat patients requiring limited orthodontic correction through rotations in a clinic dedicated to that purpose. Students also rotate in the postgraduate clinic to gain familiarity with comprehensive orthodontic treatment. A clinical evaluation competency is required.
