Orthodontist

Orthodontists are qualified dentists who focus on straightening teeth, fixing jaw alignment problems, and helping their clients achieve a beautiful smile. They perform dental surgery as well as configure and fit metal braces, clear aligners, expansion plates, bite-correcting springs, and other dental appliances.

As an Orthodontist you could be conducting an oral exam on a new patient, examining dental x-rays, fitting a set of clear-aligners for a patient, fixing an uncomfortable wire on metal braces, discussing a change to the treatment plan of a long-term client, having a team meeting with all staff at the dental practice, updating patient records, or just having a quick coffee in between appointments.

To succeed in this occupation you must be committed to academic and technical excellence in dentistry and have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills.
