Our goal is to help excellent, ethical and compassionate dentists become versatile, well-trained practitioners in the art and science of orthodontics. Our team practices in a facility with newly equipped four-handed dentistry operatories, laboratory, computer/video imaging room, digital radiology equipment, two state of the art CBCT Imaging Systems, a 3dMD Surface Imaging System, and both intra-oral/extra-oral digital impression scanning technologies. In addition to providing an excellent clinical foundation, our programs provide a basis for graduates wishing to pursue an academic career.
