If you want a program that you can balance with your profession and that is up to date and of high quality, this is your opportunity" 

Dentofacial Orthopedics aims to correct the width, length, or height of the jaws; to stimulate or inhibit jaw growth when it is altered; or to improve dental eruption. But there are other abnormalities that can be prevented or cured thanks to this specialty, such as the reduction or elimination of dental crowding; the correction of habits such as thumb sucking or abnormal swallowing, or asymmetry problems, as well as preserving spaces for permanent teeth that have not yet erupted.  

This postgraduate diploma in Diagnostics Applied to Dentofacial Orthopedics will allow the student to review the fundamental knowledge of craniofacial growth and to understand the best way to guide abnormal growth in order to correct dental and facial malposition.  

This training is distinguished by its order and distribution of theoretical material, guided practical examples in all its modules, and motivational and explanatory videos. This enables direct clinical management, guiding both the professional and the entire team towards the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients.  

In this way, the student will learn about the most used and effective functional appliances, from expanders, disjunctors, and appliances, to the latest innovations in treatment with clear aligners.  

In short, the objective is that the student, after completing this postgraduate diploma, will be able to completely diagnose patients' growth disorders and carry out effective treatment adapted to the patient's needs.
