Before you may be admitted to a dental program and train as an orthodontist, you must complete pre-dental requirements as an undergraduate.

If you want to become an orthodontist, you'll need to start by completing a bachelor's degree, followed by dental school, which will grant you a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DDM). After dental school, you'll need to complete a specialized post-doctorate degree in orthodontics. While dental schools don't require a specific bachelor's degree major for entry, pre-dentistry degrees are available to help you fill the math and science requirements for admission into dental school.
