Hey !! So to become an orthodontist you will need to do 4 years at a university/college to get your bachelors. The next step will be to apply to dental school and get accepted and complete four years there! In your last year of dental school you will be able to apply for a 2-3 year orthodontic residency program if you want to become an orthodontist.
