Did you know only (33%) or 1 in 3 Orthodontist are Board Certified (1)?
We know you wouldn’t choose a physician who was not Board-certified, so why choose an orthodontist who is not Board-certified? Board certification takes years to accomplish and is comprised of nine distinct steps in the examination process which can take hundreds of hours of the doctor’s time during and/or after residency. Besides written and oral exams, to be Board-certified, an orthodontist must present many cases they have completed to prove their clinical competency. Those cases are closely scrutinized by the experts in that field, and the orthodontist must defend those cases from the diagnosis to the conclusion.

– 2/3rds of orthodontists have never passed the extensive examination process, and certification ensures that your orthodontist is committed to excellence. In addition, certification must be renewed every 10 years to ensure the orthodontist’s skills stay top-quality.
