Master of Science [M.S] Dentistry - Orthodontics
- The Master of Science in Dentistry (M.S.D.) degree and a clinical certificate are awarded upon completion of required didactic and clinical coursework, oral and written qualifying exams, and a research project culminating in a thesis or journal manuscript.
- This is a combined degree/certificate program; the school does not offer the option to earn only a clinical certificate.
- The M.S.D. program starts the first week of July each year; students may not enter the program in the spring semester
- Dentistry’s Graduate Orthodontics Program is designed to prepare students for a career as an orthodontist. As they work toward a Master of Science in Dentistry degree, students will:
- Develop an appreciation of optimal occlusion in the broadest sense with special considerations given to function, stability, and esthetics
- Gain a thorough knowledge of the dento-facial complex with reference to anatomical structure, variation, and growth and development, and their demonstration by analytical methods
- Develop an awareness of soft and hard tissue changes during growth and repair and understand the response of these tissues to local and systemic influences, including mechanical therapy
- Acquire an understanding of the principles and materials involved in the biomechanics of treatment and proficiency in the techniques involved
