Graduate Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics Program

The purpose of the program in Orthodontics is to provide the academic background and clinical experience appropriate to the specialty of Orthodontics. The program is fully accredited by the Council on Education of the Canadian Dental Association, and meets the specialty certification requirement of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario and the eligibility requirement of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.

In 2020 the Antonios Mamandras Chair in Graduate Orthodontics was established, funded by an ambitious alumni campaign. Dr. Mamandras was the program’s esteemed  director from 1994 to 2019. This prestigious Chair, the first endowed chair of a graduate orthodontic program in Canada, ensures program excellence by supporting faculty recruitment and advancing orthodontic research and education.

Dr. Ali Tassi has been appointed as the Antonios Mamandras Chair in Graduate Orthodontics effective July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028.
