The Internship program in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics will be carried out in a prestigious center for three weeks, from Monday to Friday, in consecutive eight-hour days in which students will be able to perform different activities supervised by a professional. That way students will be in contact with patients requiring orthodontic treatment.

In this completely practical Internship program, the activities are aimed at developing and perfecting the skills necessary to provide dental care in areas and conditions that require highly qualified professionals, and are oriented towards specific expertise for practicing the activity, in a safe environment for the patient and with highly professional performance.

In this program students will have the opportunity to complete a set of essential activities to improve the abilities and skills that will help them make logical treatment plans that integrate all the therapeutic objectives, as well as design and/or prescribe the appropriate mechanics and therapeutic sequence depending on the type of deformity and the individual characteristics of the patient.

The practical teaching will be carried out with the active participation of the student performing the activities and procedures of each area of competence (learning to learn and learning to do), with the accompaniment and guidance of the professors and other training partners to facilitate teamwork and multidisciplinary integration as transversal competencies for the practice of dentistry (learning to be and learning to relate).
