“Smile at everyone and brighten their day!” ― Ramana Pemmaraju
There is no better way to make a first impression on people you meet than with a beautiful smile.

Having bad teeth or crooked teeth can damage your self-esteem, your social relationships, and very often, your oral health. That is because when things are wrong with your teeth that make them look bad, most often there is an oral health problem behind the cosmetic issue.

Schooling
General Degree
Both an orthodontist and a general dental professional are required to attend and graduate from high school with a general degree of knowledge. These studies must include the areas of science, biology, general and organic chemistry, statistics or calculus, and physics. In addition to the general high school degree, orthodontics experts are required to attend four years of college resulting in a bachelor’s degree. Exceptional students are often accepted to the dental program after only three years of college experience.
