Certificate (Cert.) Craniofacial Orthodontics (70 credits)

The Faculty of Dentistry offers a Craniofacial Orthodontics program, which combines a certificate in Craniofacial Orthodontics with the M.Sc. in Dental Sciences.

This 36-month program is designed specifically for future academic-practitioners interested in practising in a hospital or academic environment. Students will split their time between clinic, classroom, and research. A significant amount of time will be devoted to basic, clinical, and health and society research.

Studies take place in a hospital environment, allowing residents to become part of a true multidisciplinary team including orthognathic surgery, prosthodontics, trauma, sleep disorders, and oro-facial pain. Emphasis will be placed on treatment of complex craniofacial cases.

A strong interest in research and academia from the candidates is essential. Preference will be given to candidates with such an interest and those that have a sponsorship agreement with the Faculty of Dentistry to support them throughout the program.
