What is a Board Certified Orthodontist?
Board Certification is a “step beyond.” The Certificate of a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics is a unique achievement, a large step beyond the two years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in Orthodontics. Board Certification requires the following: (1) Application of examination, (2) A written examination to prove eligibility, and (3) Proof of skills in diagnosis and treatment, based on actual patient treatment. The significance of Board Certification goes far beyond achieving the approval of a panel of experts of the American Board of Orthodontics. The greatest benefits come from the in-depth self-evaluation that goes into the years of preparation for Board Certification. Being Board-Certified is a mark of exemplary clinical and theoretical achievement.
