Board Certified Orthodontists

Becoming an orthodontist takes 11 years of advanced schooling (4 years of college, 4 years of dental school, and 3 years of orthodontic residency). During this additional 3 year residency, students learn the skills of their specialty – orthodontics (tooth movement) and dentofacial orthopedics (facial development).

Only 6% of dental students pursue a career in orthodontics. Of those who become Orthodontists, only 30% are Board Certified Orthodontists. An American Board Certified Orthodontist (ABCO) is the highest level of achievement an Orthodontist can obtain. Becoming certified takes an additional 5 to 10 years of clinical submission, examination, and peer review. It confirms a commitment to providing lifelong quality patient care and commitment to lifelong learning. By choosing a Board Certified Orthodontist, you are ensuring that you are receiving the highest-quality of orthodontic care.
