The Department of Orthodontics graduated its first class in 1979. We have over 100 orthodontic alumni practicing throughout Florida, the U.S., and the world.
Orthogators, our orthodontic alumni association, is actively involved in supporting the Department of Orthodontics. Every fall, alumni and friends gather for our annual Orthogators meeting for fellowship and continuing education.
Our alumni are active throughout the Southern Association of Orthodontists (SAO) and Florida Association of Orthodontists (FAO), with several members serving noteworthy leadership roles including president of the FAO and of the SAO. We are very proud of the support our alumni provides our department. It is because of their hard work and contributions that we continue to be an outstanding program.
