Facilities

We provide both graduate and postgraduate programs leading to the B.D.S and M.D.S degree.

UG Clinic:

UG Clinic is equipped with 11 dental chairs for Op Screening and recording case history and treating minor orthodontic cases using removable appliances.

We also have a cephalometric tracing room, wet and dry labs equipped with model trimmers, polishing units etc….and a Preclinical Lab where wire bending exercises are demonstrated and practiced.

PG Clinic:

PG Clinic is well equipped with 9 dental chairs, cephalometric tracing room, wet and dry labs, sterilization room, photographic room, computer room, seminar room for presenting Seminars, Journal clubs, Case discussions.  We also have a Department Library for quick reference.

The department uses various advanced technologies such as Software-NemoCeph for Diagnosis, Treatment Planning and Treatment Progress, Bio star machine, Hydro solder machine.

Each postgraduate student treats around 100 fixed mechanotherapy cases during the programme.

Departmental Clinical Services

Digital Orthodontics & Advanced Diagnostics

• 3D Intraoral Digital Scanning:Impression-free digital scanning for higher accuracy, patient comfort, and faster appliance fabrication.
• Digital Cephalometric & CBCT Diagnostics:Precise 3D imaging for airway analysis, bone density evaluation, and localization of impacted teeth.
• Virtual Treatment Simulation: Advanced digital treatment forecasting to visualize predicted tooth movement and smile aesthetics prior to treatment initiation.

Comprehensive Fixed Appliance Therapy

• Conventional Fixed Brackets: High-precision Metal and Ceramic (Aesthetic) bracket systems.
• Self-Ligating Systems:Passive and active self-ligating brackets for reduced friction and faster alignment, featuring Damon System Braces for friction-free mechanics, enhanced patient comfort, and reduced appointment frequency.
• Mechanotherapy Options: Pre-adjusted Edgewise Appliance (PEA / Straight Wire), Tip-Edge, and Begg techniques.

  Advanced Clear Aligner & Aesthetic Technologies

• Invisalign® System:Digital 3D treatment planning (ClinCheck) and custom transparent aligners.
• Flash Aligners: Advanced precision clear aligners for subtle to complex malocclusions.
• Aesthetic Ceramic Brackets: Tooth-coloured ceramic systems for low-visibility, discreet treatment.

  Dentofacial Orthopaedics & Myofunctional Therapy

• Functional Appliances: Twin Block, Frankel, Myobrace, and Activators to modify jaw growth in skeletal Class II/III malocclusions.
• Extraoral Orthopaedic Traction:Headgears, Face Masks, and Reverse Pull Headgears for maxillary and mandibular growth modification.
• Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME / Hyrax): Skeletal widening of narrow upper jaws in growing individuals.
• Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE):Trans-surgical arch expansion for skeletally mature adult patients.

  Skeletal Anchorage & Mini-Implants

• Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs):Micro-screw placement for absolute anchorage, intrusion, and complex biomechanotherapy.
• Mini-Implants & Mini-Plates: Advanced skeletal anchorage options for en-masse retraction, molar distalization, and asymmetric corrections without headgear dependence.

  Adult & Pre-Prosthetic Orthodontics
  

• Pre-Prosthetic Orthodontics:Tooth movement, molar uprighting, and space management prior to dental implants, bridges, crowns, or periodontal restoration.
• Accelerated Orthodontics: Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) to facilitate faster tooth movement in suitable adult candidates.

  Surgical & Complex Dentofacial Management

• Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery): Pre- and post-surgical orthodontic management of severe jaw disproportions and facial asymmetries.
• Cleft Lip & Palate / Craniofacial Care: Interdisciplinary orthodontic rehabilitation, including Nasoalveolar Molding (NAM) and phased care for patients with congenital deformities.

  Preventive & Interceptive Orthodontics (Pediatric Phase)
  

• Space Management:Fixed and removable space maintainers and space regainers.
• Habit-Breaking Appliances: Fixed and removable treatment for thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing.
• Early Arch Expansion: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and slow expansion appliances for early skeletal development.
• Impacted Tooth Management: Surgical traction and precise alignment of impacted teeth (e.g., maxillary canines).
• Serial Extractions & Eruption Guidance: Intercepting severe overcrowding during mixed dentition.

  Specialized TMJ & Sleep Orthodontics
  

• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Therapy & Occlusal Rehabilitation:Comprehensive clinical evaluation, occlusal splint fabrication, and joint stabilization before and during orthodontic correction.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) Management: Screening and custom Mandibular Advancement Devices (MAD) to expand upper airways and reduce airway collapse during sleep.

  Retention, Sports Dentistry & Post-Treatment Care

• Fixed Retention:Custom bonded lingual retainers for long-term stability.
• Removable Retention:Hawley retainers, vacuum-formed retainers (Essix), and positioners.
• Custom Athletic Mouthguards: Custom-fitted protective mouthguards for sports active patients during orthodontic treatment.
• Smile Design & Finishing:Esthetic evaluation and interdisciplinary finishing procedures for optimal occlusal stability.
  

  Community Outreach & Preventive Programs

• School Dental Health Initiatives:Regular oral health and preventive screenings across schools and community centers.
• Community Screening & Awareness: Early interceptive screenings and cleft/craniofacial community care outreach.
