DENT 6436      Orthodontics: Growth And Development
Certain malocclusions and dental deformities can occur due variations in growth and normal developmental process. In order to treat and understand these problems, an in-depth and through understanding of craniofacial growth and development is necessary. Understanding how and when the face and head is actively growing will enable the clinician to redirect facial growth to reduce the severity of forming skeletal/ dental malocclusions. Since orthodontic treatment may involve the modification and/ort manipulation of skeletal growth, it is important not only to understand dental development but also physical, physiologic and psychosocial development. This course is designed to address these needs.
