The Department of Orthodontics at Ziauddin College of Dentistry recently organised a comprehensive hands-on workshop titled “Mastering Orthodontic Biomechanics” on January 8th, 2026. The session was led by renowned facilitator Dr. Waqar Jeelani (Professor of Orthodontics, Bakhtawar Amin Medical College), under the leadership of Course Director Dr. Sarwat Memon (Professor and HOD of Orthodontics, Ziauddin College of Dentistry).
The workshop bridged the gap between theoretical physical concepts in orthodontics and their clinical application. Dr. Jeelani provided an in-depth exploration of biomechanical principles, transitioning from fundamental concepts to the complex understanding of one and two-couple systems. The academic session was followed by an intensive hands-on module where participants, ranging from House Officers, faculty and postgraduate trainees, practised precise wire-bending techniques. Key hands-on exercises included the fabrication and application of:
The workshop was highly interactive and well-received, providing participants with practical skills and enhanced clinical insight into biomechanical control in orthodontic treatment. Such initiatives reflect Ziauddin University’s continued commitment to advancing postgraduate education and clinical excellence in dentistry.
