Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I have always enjoyed this type of field. Despite the good money you make, It really seems like something I would like to do in college/career. Only problem, not THAT smart (ie not 1500 SAT smart). basically any advice on how to go about becoming a dentist/ortho for the average-above average student like me? What are some good colleges (Colorado?) ? any overall advice?

In terms of pain, diet, resting…wisdom teeth is a surgery, but I guess getting braces is on is also painful. Do you have to eat soft foods the entire time you have braces?? Is one procedure good preparation for the other? Any thoughts will help.
