first off you must do 4 years undergrad in college
you have to take the prereqs which are
General Chemistry 1
General Chemistry 2
Organic Chemistry 1
Organic Chemistry 2
General Biology 1
General Biology 2
Microbiology
Anatomy and Phys. 1
Anatomy and Phys. 2
Calculus 1
Physics 1
Physics 2 (preferbally calculus based physics)
Biochemistry makes you look good
After you are done with your bachelor’s degree and have taken all the required courses you have to worry about getting accepted into dental school …. which is actually becoming harder to get into than med school.
When in dental school it takes 4 years, then you have to apply to an orthodontist school which is about 2 more years of college. Which is probably the most selective specialty. Basically you have to graduate on the top of your dental school class to be considered.

After your braces are removed, they’ll do a mold just like they did before you got your braces. From the new perfect mold, they’ll make your retainer so your teeth will stay in place.

Now does the orthodontist put the braces on or the assistant is supposed to, because where I work the assistants is supposed to be doing everything also ligature wires like pulling the teeth. Also measuring the brackets. Please tell me all the duties what the assistant is suppose to be doing? Thank you for your opinions.

What do they do? My other dentist noticed I had an under-bite and said braces could fix it, but my teeth are naturally straight, the only problem is my under-bite. I’ve never been to an orthodontist before so what do they do? Do take clean your teeth, take pictures, etc?
