Before you may be admitted to a dental program and train as an orthodontist, you must complete pre-dental requirements as an undergraduate. Most dental programs prefer to admit students with a bachelor's degree, though some will accept students with a minimum of two years of undergraduate education.
In order to become an orthodontist, an additional 2-5 years of schooling will be required in the science of orthodontics plus a 2-3 year residency at an ADA approved program. After spending 8 years pursuing education after high school, only 11 percent of new dental graduates go on to pursue a career in a dental specialty while the majority immediately open a private practice of their own.
