Nice !! Thank you, doctor, for sharing your academic life to become and Orthodontist , and associate to own your practice. ..

As a dental assistant student I would love to work at this office in the future! It's so modern and up to date with all of the new technology!

Thank you this was very helpful!!!! I to want to be an orthodontist

Lots of great info. Thank you!

I want to be an orthodontist too !! I like working with wires and taking impressions… but i get discouraged by my batchmates who say being an orthodontist is tiresome and too much hard working. You have to treat same patient for like 2 years , they keep coming back to you

You seem like a genuinely nice person...and I'm sure a great orthodontist! I just got braces- not loving it but had some pockets and my dentist said my bite might be causing bone issues so the next day, I found an orthodontist. She said braces are better (vs. invisaln) since she wants to move one of my upper back teeth up one full space (to make up for a gap where a tooth was previously pulled.) I am not a fan of flouride (potential pineal gland calcification/sleep issues. I like my sleep!) Instead, do you think Nano-HAP is a good alternative? If so, should I wait until after the braces come off to start? I don't want to build up tooth structure around the braces then when they come off, have any issues or different colors.

I love these! By the way you have a new subscriber

Sir how much orthodontists earn in usa? Nice video.

hi i have one more question. So in what cases will a orthodontist only put on the top or bottom braces instead of both at one time ?

How much do Orthodontists make in the US? I heard in Texas, they could make $300K as a fresh grad? Is this true?

I've always thought orthodontics was largely a scam. When I was in primary school, a dentist told my mother I should be referred to an orthodontist. The orthodontist charged my parents a great deal of money and had a technician construct a device with wires that hooked around some of my teeth. I didn't like wearing it, it was uncomfortable and I thought it increased the amount that I suffered from colds and flu. So after a few months I refused to wear it. The orthodontist then told my mother that without it, and without regular checkups and readjustment as I grew (i.e., more large large payments to him) I would, by the time I was an adult, be unable to bite into and chew my food. I refused point blank to wear it anyway. I have a slightly receding jaw and I don't have a perfect movie star smile but it's decades later now and I've never had any trouble chewing. Some years after that crook told my mother I would grow up being unable to bite and chew, I discovered in an old Encyclopedia Britannica yearbook that a study had been done in the USA. This study showed that:- a) after the orthodontic apparatus is removed, the teeth slowly (takes years) migrate back to their positions they would have had anyway if no orthodontic devices had been used; b) Unless the case is really bad, teeth that are wonky in childhood tend to straighten out in teenage years anyway, if diet is good. That's what happened with me. Also, don't forget that as you get older and get some decay, or wisdom teeth issues, you may have one or more teeth removed. The gap will, through a change in the stress on the bone, cause your remaining teeth to migrate to new positions - it seems to me that negates any benefit of orthodontic treatment. At least in my country (Australia), orthodontics went largely out of fashion, at least for cosmetic purposes. But today one often sees teenage girls (never boys - that's suspicious) with wire on their teeth. Will they get a long term benefit? I doubt it. The authors of the Wikipedia article could not find a peer reviewed study that clearly established a log term benefit of orthodontics (except for really bad cases and cases requiring jaw surgery).
