Orthodontic records are digital, excepting study models which are kept in the department.  We have PACS networked digital radiography.  Photography is provided by Medical Illustration and, like radiography, it is accesible via computers in all clinical rooms and offices.

The Orthodontic clinicians share offices with the OMFS trainees.  There is ample desk space and computers, with cephalometric and orthognathic planning software.  A wide selection of textbooks and journal are kept in the department and Cambridge University Hospital medical library is on site.

The department works closely with OMFS, restorative dentistry and cleft paediatric dentistry and we run regular orthoganthic and hypodontia combined clinics.  Addenbrookes is the 'hub' for the regional cleft service, so registrars have opportunities to be involved in cleft MDT's.

Ipswich Hospital

Part of the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation trust

Consultant:- Mr I Davis
​Other Orthodontic clinical staff:-  1 specialty registrar, 5 orthodontic therapists

The Orthodontic Department operates from two sites. It shares a clinic in the outpatient area with the Oral & Maxillofacial team but most of the treatment occurs at the satellite unit situated close to the hospital in a purpose built facility it shares with a specialist primary care practice. In the hospital department Orthodontics has access to 3 dental surgeries and there are 7 dental chairs (4 in a poly clinic) at the satellite unit. Both facilities have an onsite lab. 

The department is fully computerised with digital radiographs and uses both scanned and plaster models although the intention is to go completely computerised using 3D printing technology when required. Models for the StRs and for surgical cases are kept in hard copy for the ease of exam preparation and joint cases planning. Each surgery has an individual computer.

There is a large shared office for all the clinicians. Further extension is planned at the satellite facility for the summer 2017 to provide additional office space for the orthodontic trainees and improve changing facilities and the patient waiting area.  A feasibility study is also being undertaken to see whether the introduction of CBCT is required.

There are two OMFS consultants and the Orthodontic Department runs joint  Orthognathic clinics once a fortnight and participate in the regional Cleft multi-disciplinary clinics for which Ipswich Hospital orthodontic department is a “spoke” unit.
