CODS ‘Orthosynergy’
the orthodontics department of the
College of Dental Sciences, Davangere
is currently one of the leading
departments in its field. The department
strives to bring beautiful smiles
to the Karnataka population using

In addition to aesthetic enhancement
our department also deals with improving
the quality of life of individuals
with debilitating and disfiguring
craniofacial anomalies like cleft
lip and palate. The department is
also on the world map having research
linkages with Centre for Evidence
Based Dentistry, UK, German Society
for Aesthetic Orthodontics, Leeds
