Hello Aspirant

MDS Orthodontics VS MDS Oral surgery



First of all ,there is nothing called scope or demand,it depends on what is your interest and what type of clinical skills you have in that branch and your clinical knowledge in that field.
Scope mainly depends on
1.communication skills with the patient
2.your clinical skills in the subject
3.your interest in the field
4.your knowledge about the field


First coming to MDS in Orthodontics

MDS in orthodontics is a 3 year specialized branch dealing with teeth and jaw irregularities and it's treatment modalities.
In BDS you do only about pre clinical orthodontics that is wire bending and case history and not in clinical part of orthodontics,in MDS you learn every part of orthodontics,you get to know about dental photography in orthodontics, different types of patients from small children to adults who come to correct their bites and occlusion.
There are many things you can do as a orthodontist
Serial extraction
Orthognathic surgeries
Cleft lip surgeries
Jaw deformation surgeries
Correction of bite
After MDS in orthodontics you can get a good job as a orthodontics, orthodontic surgeries,your opening salary may be from 3-7 lakhs per annum.
You can work as a dentist in government dental hospital and private clinics.


MDS in oral surgery is a branch dealing with local anaesthesia, general anesthesia, exodontia and treatment for pathologies related to oral cavity.
If you do MDS in oral surgery,you can work along with mbbs team of doctors with a good experience in any surgery.
There are many branches in oral surgery
Maxillary and mandibular fractures
Cleft lip cleft palate
Head and neck oncology
Facial reconstruction due to burns

You can work as a surgeon in any of these fields in a multi speciality hospital., research institutes, private colleges, private and government colleges.

After MDS in oral and maxillofacial surgery you can earn 6-7 lakhs per annum.

So I told you about both ,now you can choose between what you like and do that course.

Hope this helps
All the best
