You don’t get a diploma in orthodontics, its a subspecialty. You can obtain a certificate of additional credentialling but thats not a diploma/degree.

I tend to chew on my retainer (like what some people do w/ their mouth piece). I have the clear retainer (sort of like invisalign); I want to know if I can go to another Orthodontist to get another retainer or do I have to keep on going to same Orthodontist.
