Advice for picking between Orthodontist and Dental Hygienist?
Hi! I'm a rising senior that's been interested in dentistry for over a year now and I wanted some advice for which career to pick within it. For a while, I've wanted to be an orthodontist; however, after really looking into the huge amount of debt that comes with it, I'm not so sure if it's something I can manage. I am interested in becoming an orthodontist, but I'm not sure how doable it is, especially for paying off debt. I know there's also a huge difference between the years in school for an Orthodontist versus a Dental Hygienist, and I've heard very good things about both regarding their lifestyle. I'm looking for a career that will pay well, be stable long term, and preferably as least stressful as possible. Any advice is welcomed, thanks!
