Orthodontics is a specialised dentistry branch dedicated to correcting irregularities of teeth and jaw misalignments and abnormalities. In a postgraduate programme of orthodontics, students engage in in-depth diagnostic techniques and treatment methods. These include the application of braces, aligners and other orthodontic devices.
To be eligible for postgraduate studies in orthodontics in the UK, candidates must possess a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) or a comparable dental qualification, along with relevant professional clinical experience. Completing this programme equips graduates with the expertise to contribute to the field of orthodontic practice and research.
There are more than 10 postgraduate degrees available to study orthodontics in the UK. Offered by various prestigious universities and dental schools, the programmes provide a rich array of choices for students pursuing a career in this specialised area of dentistry.
Pursuing a postgraduate degree in orthodontics offers an intensive exploration of advanced orthodontic principles and methodologies. The curriculum covers areas such as craniofacial development, the biomechanics of orthodontic treatment and strategic treatment planning. The programme also includes clinical training, allowing students to gain practical experience.
Evaluations are typically conducted through clinical case presentations, written exams and research projects. These projects encourage students to investigate new or existing areas of orthodontics, fostering innovation and critical inquiry and are structured to cater to the evolving needs of the dental community and the patients they serve.
Accredited by the General Dental Council (GDC) in the UK, graduates are equipped for successful careers as orthodontists, contributing to the enhancement of dental aesthetics and oral health.
