My First List

• STEP 4.) BECOME LICENSED – To practice as a dentist or dental specialist, you must earn a license. Licensure requirements are regulated by state, and they usually include graduating from an accredited dental school followed by passing a written and practical examination. To practice in a specialty, such as orthodontics, you'll also need to complete a postgraduate education program and may be required to take an additional state examination. In most states, your license will permit you to practice both general dentistry and orthodontics.
• STEP 3.) COMPLETE YOUR POSTGRADUATE ORTHODONTICS PROGRAM – After completing a dental program, you'll need to apply to orthodontic specialty programs. Most orthodontic programs last three years, during which time you'll most likely learn about orthodontics (tooth movement), surgical orthodontics and dental facial orthopedics (guidance of facial development). You may also receive training in research methodology and teaching, complete a research project, attend conferences and prepare case reports. Upon completion of your program, you'll be qualified as a dental specialist in orthodontics.
