USN School of Dental Medicine, Nevadas newest dental school, is one of about 60 in the United States licensed to provide post-doctoral orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics education (jaw cracking versus teeth wrangling; dealing with face bones in the wrong place versus teeth in the wrong place).
Another name for this is dentofacial orthopedics since orthodontics involves actual facial abnormalities.
However, if the candidates plan to specialize in a branch of dentistry such as public health, endodontics, oral maxillofacial pathology, oral maxillofacial surgery, dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics, a couple of years of advanced studies is required.
