In the history of dentistry, many different health professionals were involved in coming to the aid of patients suffering from a toothache or oral issue. As these professionals noticed a need for specialized work on the teeth, the focus on orthodontia began.

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.

Exceptional students are often accepted to the dental program after only three years of college experience.
