Orthodontist Jobs

An Orthodontist is a specialized professional in the dental industry who focuses on diagnosing and treating dental and facial irregularities such as overbites, underbites, crowded teeth, and misaligned jaws. They utilize various dental devices like braces, retainers, and aligners to correct these issues, enhancing not just the dental health but also the overall appearance and self-confidence of the patients. Being skilled in manual dexterity, attention to detail, and interpersonal skills, as well as having excellent problem-solving capabilities, are crucial for this role.

Orthodontists are required to hold a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree and complete a postgraduate program in orthodontics accredited by the American Dental Association. Board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics is highly recommended. Prior to becoming an Orthodontist, a person could have roles such as Dental Assistant, gaining hands-on experience in patient care, a Dental Hygienist, providing preventative dental care, or a General Dentist, diagnosing and treating a variety of dental conditions.
