In aligning teeth and enhancing the patient’s facial appearance, orthodontic treatment contributes considerably to the patient’s self-perception and wellbeing. Nationally, the demand for orthodontic treatment is high and our institute having the lowest charges for orthodontic package usually has a long patient awaiting list. In order to address this problem the department targets children with an urgent need for treatment to regain their psycho-social confidence that orthodontic treatment can render. The Department of Orthodontics strives toward excellence in teaching and training at both under- and postgraduate level as this will extend and uplift orthodontic treatment in the private and public sectors.
