Non-US trained Dentists are eligible to apply for the International Orthodontic Program. The educational content of this 36-month orthodontic program is identical to the one offered to US-trained Dentists. Enrollment to the graduate program leading to a Master of Science Degree, however, is mandatory for those applicants accepted to the International program.

The Orthodontics Mini Residency is a two-month program available to foreign-trained dentists who possess a D.M.D./D.D.S. or equivalent and have successfully completed an accredited dental program in a country other than the United States or Canada. This course aims to educate dentists on basic orthodontic concepts and prepare interested applicants to successfully integrate into the International Orthodontic Certificate Program of UAB, upon further acceptance.

The Advanced Education Program in Orthodontics extends over a period of 30 months and leads to a Certificate in Orthodontics. This postdoctoral program encompasses the study of basic sciences and other relevant areas by combining laboratory and clinical work with didactic courses. It is designed to meet the standards of the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Education for Advanced Education Programs in Orthodontics and to satisfy the American Board of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics requirements.
