Welcome to the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics at Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital.

Our department stands as a centre of excellence, combining state-of-the-art clinical infrastructure, academic rigor, and a commitment to shaping the next generation of orthodontic professionals. We offer a wide spectrum of advanced orthodontic services, including fixed and removable appliance therapy, myofunctional appliances, orthognathic surgical planning, and cutting-edge aligner treatments such as Invisalign — for which our postgraduate students receive certification during their training.

Undergraduate and postgraduate clinics are fully optimized with modern facilities to provide seamless patient care and learning experiences. Our students benefit from extensive clinical exposure, guided by highly qualified and experienced faculty committed to evidence-based, patient-centered treatment.

Postgraduate training at our department goes far beyond the academic syllabus. We encourage our residents to engage in national and international scientific research, publications, and collaborative projects. The department actively supports participation in academic conferences and fosters global partnerships to ensure our students stay aligned with global orthodontic trends and innovations.

We take immense pride in preparing our postgraduate students for the Membership in Orthodontics (MOrth) examination, with focused training integrated into their academic journey. Our graduates emerge not only as skilled clinicians but as professionals equipped to thrive in real- world practice, research, and leadership roles.

At the heart of our department is a belief in holistic growth—fostering not just academic and clinical excellence, but ethical integrity, empathy, and a lifelong commitment to learning.

We invite you to explore our department, engage with our vibrant community, and be part of an orthodontic journey that transforms smiles, lives, and futures.
