What training does an orthodontist have?
Orthodontics is skilled specialist work. Becoming a qualified orthodontist in the UK takes years of training and clinical experience including five years of dental school, four years of postgraduate training and three years of full-time specialist training!
Orthodontists have extensive knowledge of using appliances such as braces, clear aligner trays and retainers, so they can recommend the best kind of appliance to meet every individual patient’s treatment needs – creating beautiful and healthy smiles for children, teens and adults.
