Course description
The aim of this programme is to enable dental graduates to gain the knowledge, skills, attitudes and abilities to become a specialist orthodontist, who can independently treat a wide range of malocclusions. You will be able to develop evidence-based and critical approaches that are essential to working in the field of orthodontics.
