Orthodontics is a distinct and specialized branch of dentistry. According to the GDC and Royal Colleges, the terms "Orthodontist" and "Specialist in Orthodontics" are synonymous, representing professionals with:

  • Advanced knowledge and skills to diagnose, treat, and prevent irregularities of the teeth, bite, and facial growth in children and adults.
  • The ability to deliver evidence-based orthodontic care that improves dental health, function, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

As specialists, orthodontists manage conditions such as:

  • Impacted teeth, crowded teeth, and rotated teeth.
  • Overjet (protruding upper front teeth) or reverse bite.
  • Crossbites, deep bites, and open bites.
  • Missing teeth requires adjunctive pediatric, restorative, or periodontal care.
  • Complex interdisciplinary cases involving cleft lip/palate, craniofacial anomalies, or orthognathic surgery.

This program equips trainees with these essential competencies, ensuring they meet the highest professional standards for specialist orthodontic practice.
