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.
