What does it mean that Dr. Loveless is an ABO Diplomate?
Dr. Loveless has earned the honor of being an American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Diplomate. This is a result of a voluntary process that lets the ABO extensively review an orthodontist’s education and provide an intensive assessment of their clinical expertise. From the ABO website, “Upon certification the orthodontist earns the certificate of the Board and the title ‘Diplomate of The American Board of Orthodontics.’ Certification as a Diplomate signifies a unique achievement. As of March 2004, there are 2,026 orthodontists throughout the world who are Diplomates.
