American University of Beirut

Department of Dentofacial Medicine
  • Patient comes first and “second to none” education

    ​​​​​​​Our program was founded in October 2001, and has been thriving since. Our MS in orthodontics is recognized by the New York State Education Department whose examiners have rated the program as “second to none” among American-based orthodontic programs. 

    Our success is by design and hard work, combining clinical excellence and frontline research. More importantly, it is rooted in the human values and ethics of caring for others. Such is our culture and our mission, thus our clinical motto: “the patient comes first.” 

    As a dental unit at AUB, we pride ourselves by tracing a legacy to the first dental school in the region, established in 1910, yet closed in 1940. In this perspective, we celebrated in 2010 the Centennial of Dentistry AT and THROUGH AUB, because the school alumni sustained the historical gap. We are proud to pick up the relay, thus we represent the renaissance of dentistry at AUB.
