The Orthodontic Department at Rotherham General Hospital is situated within the main out-patients area and is shared with Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It provides a full range of Orthodontic services to patients from the Rotherham area, including the treatment of orthognathic patients, and patients with hypodontia and impacted teeth. Multidisciplinary clinics are held within the department with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and a Consultant Restorative Dentist from the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital in Sheffield. There are currently 2 modern well-equipped surgeries allocated to Orthodontics, with a third surgery shared with OMFS.

The department has its own radiographic and Cone Beam CT facilities, and all surgeries have computer terminals for viewing of digital radiographs on the PAX system. An intra-oral scanner has recently been added in one of the surgeries and the department uses Dolphin imaging software for dento-facial imaging. The Orthodontics / OMFS laboratory is sited within the department, which includes a desk-top scanner to enable digital storage of study models. All instruments are sterilised in the Central Sterilisation Unit of the hospital.
