Advanced orthodontics 1 is a composite course of 4 major areas in orthodontics. Students are introduced to basic aspects of orthodontics. The process of diagnosis of orthodontic patients and all the required basic information, clinical procedures and diagnostic records required to reach a problem list and assess the need for orthodontic treatment are covered in the course.

The management of the developing dentition occupies part of the course. The applications of cephalometry in diagnosis, growth and treatment prediction are part of the course. The course will also include seminars that introduces students to the area of evidence-based practice in orthodontics.

This is a comprehensive course, given in the form of practical sessions and short lectures. It aims at exposing first-year residents to various orthodontic diagnostic measures including clinical examination, impression taking, radiographic analysis and interpretation, model analysis, photographic analysis, diagnosis of different types of malocclusion comprehensive wire bending, banding and bonding, typodont simulation of orthodontic treatment, fabrication of some of the common laboratory orthodontic appliances and the fabrication of orthodontic study models.

Three major core topics are included in this course. It provides thorough knowledge related to orthodontic removable, fixed, functional and orthopedic appliances from all aspects. Treatment planning for orthodontic patients is a major topic in which the basics of treatment planning are highlighted including the application of group discussion and problem-based learning.

Such strategy aims at enhancing students' abilities to independently formulate treatment plans for orthodontic patients with Class I, Class II and Class III malocclusions. Biology of tooth movement is another part of this course. Basic and advanced concepts related to orthodontically induced tooth movement are covered Furthermore, the course includes seminars directed at the discussion of original articles related to the major core topics of this course in addition to the iatrogenic effects of orthodontic treatment.

Clinical Orthodontics 1 is the first part of the clinical training of the master's program at the end of which each trainee should be equipped with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies to provide the services of a specialist Orthodontist to the general public. To start with, the trainees would be supervised to attend to patients visiting the clinics for advice, consultation and treatment.

It will be required the trainee make a primary evaluation for the status of the malocclusion and estimate the need and eligibility for treatment. Clinic supervisors should provide the necessary assistance. Each trainee is also trained to prepare a diagnostic file and records, present cases to supervising staff in a case discussion session.

Each resident should start with 5 cases with Class I malocclusion and then start with other cases with more complicated problems. The trainees could also attend case discussions presented by senior trainees or peers. It would also be required that the trainees give time for self-learning and out of clinic reading hours to integrate the theoretical knowledge with the practical application.

Three major core topics are included in this course (Orthodontic Biomechanics, Temporomandibular Disorders and Orthodontics and Craniofacial Anomalies). Biomechanics concepts applied during orthodontic tooth movement. Temporomandibular Disorders and the role of orthodontics in its diagnosis prevention and management. The diagnosis and management of Craniofacial Anomalies related to the area of Orthodontics is also covered including the interaction with other disciplines.

The treatment of cases with varying malocclusions is also covered in the Case Discussion section. Orthodontic Seminars are parts of this course which covers aspects related to specific topics related to the three major core topics.

This course is a continuation of the practical aspect of the program. Proceeding from Clinical Orthodontics 1, The trainee shall enroll full time and is required to attend all supervised clinical sessions to establish proficiency in clinical orthodontics. The training program shall include clinical training consisting of diagnosis, treatment planning assessment of new and review patients as well as personal treatment of patients.

Every trainee will continue to take recruit new patients and add to his/her patient list until the clinical requirement enlisted in clinical orthodontics 1 is completed (40 cases with variety of malocclusions. The continued attendance of case discussion groups, clinical training will gradually improve their experience. Experience at this stage should be extended to more complicated cases and to advanced stage of fixed appliance therapy (space closure stage).

By the end of this course, it is expected that each trainee should have reached the required number of cases he/her should take in for personal treatment.

This course covers 2 major core topics and 1 advanced topic. Retention and relapse introduces students to basic aspects of retention, the biological basis of relapse, and the available evidence based guidelines on retention. Interdisciplinary orthodontics treatment philosophy and the role of interdisciplinary team to provide successful treatment strategies for adult patients is a part of this course.

Orthognathic surgery outcomes. In addition the advanced orthodontic techniques and imaging modalities will also be covered. Continuous streaming of the latest articles and evidence related to the topies of this course are covered in the Advanced seminars included in this course.

The master's thesis is an independent scholarly research project in which the student applies orthodontic knowledge, clinical reasoning, and research methodology to prepare an original academic study under supervision.
