Mrinalini’s Answer

The hardest part of becoming an orthodontist is the long, competitive journey:

High academic standards in science courses
Dental school admission (strong GPA, DAT scores, shadowing)
Cost (tuition and residency are expensive)
Residency selection (very competitive)
Time commitment (10+ years from undergrad to residency)
