MOH UAE Orthodontics

Before subscribing, check that you meet the exam board's eligibility criteria:

• Primary dental degree: A BDS, DMD, or equivalent dental degree from a dental school listed on the Avicenna database.
• Specialization in Orthodontics: A recognized postgraduate qualification in Orthodontics — Master's, Diploma, or equivalent — from an accredited residency program. MOHAP's own eligibility page notes that the postgraduate duration for Orthodontics "may vary" from its general 2-year specialist baseline, so confirm your own program's status on our MOHAP qualification & experience requirements page.
• Continuous practice & valid license: No interruption in clinical practice for more than 2 years, plus an active license to practice from your home country or country of most recent employment.
• DataFlow Primary Source Verification: All educational, professional, and licensing documents must be verified through DataFlow as part of your MOHAP application.

MOHAP considers exemption applications from candidates holding recognized qualifications such as USMLE, PLAB, DHA, DOH, NCLEX, or other MOHAP-approved equivalents, together with an active international license and current board certification. Exemption is evaluated case-by-case, and a "specialty mismatch" between your certification and the title you're applying for is a common reason applications are rejected — so a general licensing exam pass alone does not guarantee exemption for the Orthodontics track specifically. Review the full criteria on our MOHAP exam exemption page and confirm your own case with MOHAP before relying on it.
