Orthodontist

                                         Orthodontist
Duties and Responsibilities:
            Orthodontists are specialized dentists who work to improve their patients' smiles through correcting teeth alignment and guiding proper facial development. They are responsible for locating problems with the positioning of patients' teeth and with their oral development. You might use x-rays or plaster molds of your patients' teeth to do this. They will also be responsible for planning custom treatment plans that are tailored to treat each individual patient based on his or her dental records and specific anomalies.
Salary: $186,000
Education:

          Orthodontists need a bachelor’s degree. It doesn't matter what major you choose, but you'll need to take certain requirement courses, such as chemistry, biology, physics and organic chemistry. You will also need to graduate from dental school with a Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine.
