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.
