Orthodontics And Dentofacial Orthopedics

Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with development and growth of face and jaws. It also deals with the prevention and corrections of abnormalities of teeth and jaws. The aim of this specialty is to improve the overall appearance of face, jaws and teeth along with aesthetics, mastication and phonetics. The special competencies of the department include lingual orthodontics and orthognathic treatment modalities, and the newest technology of aligners. Institution has unique and latest technology like Invisalign, aligners along with scanner and 3D printer, which is not available in the nearby districts. We are offering post graduate degree course with three seats.
