Orthodontics - Masters of Science (MS) in Oral Biology
Overview
Orthodontics: Orthodontists contribute to the readiness mission through warfighter optimization, maintenance of deployment skillsets, and the provision of leadership at all levels of the military health system. Graduates are uniquely adept at surgical orthodontics seeking to alleviate handicapping dentofacial deformities while enhancing surgical outcomes and currencies for oral and maxillofacial surgeons; these are skills often required for multidisciplinary treatment of war-related maxillofacial injuries. Orthodontists are trained in a fully joint environment at the Tri-Service Orthodontic Residency Program (TORP). Staff, residents, and technicians from all services assemble to achieve comprehensive didactic, clinical, and surgical orthodontic education in this setting. Finally, professional military development is integrated into the TORP curriculum to develop not only clinicians but also officers who are prepared to lead and support our nation’s defense through a keen awareness of the greater mission.
