College of Dental Medicine—Postdoctoral Programs 511 faculty members, ensuring that residents are exposed to different techniques used in treating orthodontic patients. Residents will treat adults, adolescents, and children and experience a variety of contemporary appliances and treatment disciplines, including orthognathic surgery. Interdisciplinary and dentofacial anomalies and Grand Rounds take place on a regular basis with other postgraduate residents and their respective faculty members and facilitate the treatment planning of complex cases. A diagnostic conference with faculty members occurs daily. All residents are required to attend these conferences. The curriculum consists of clinical and didactic courses given through the department, as well as a core curriculum in which all postgraduate residents are enrolled. Residents are expected to be available 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and certain evenings and weekends for scheduled conferences, lectures, and seminars. Orthodontic residents are not allowed to practice dentistry outside of the college. Clinical Orthodontics I–XI These courses comprise the clinical component of the postgraduate orthodontic curriculum. Students will incorporate the knowledge gained from didactic studies, while providing orthodontic services for patients with a broad variety of malocclusions. Patients with typical malocclusions— those requiring early treatment, dentofacial orthopedics, orthognathic surgery, and/or interdisciplinary care—are selected as educational models. Techniques focus on standard edgewise technique including pre-torqued and pre-angulated brackets and lingual orthodontics. Various types of treatment approaches are presented.
