Reply:You will still encounter "smelly" breath and blood at times even with adjusting. Before you go to ortho school you still need to go through 4 years of general dentistry school where you still learn the basics of dentistry. Good luck.
Reply:Yes, you have the basic idea of what an orthodontist does. But you do realize that you have to go through 4 years of dental school before you can become an orthodontist, and you still deal with blood and gross mouths. Seeing kids in braces you will see some of the grosses mouths, because teaching kids they need to keep there mouth clean can be a challenge at times. Hope it helps...good luck.
Reply:Braces are fun! We take people (teenagers) at the time when they have the POORest hygiene to START with and then put these devices on that make it WORSE! brilliant..... :)





Orthodontists get really good at guessing what the patients had for lunch as you can identify who chunks of lunch meat or Chee-tos stuck on those brackets.





As for stinky mouths, well, guess what; ....Infection control is just one reason we wear masks; not smelling people is the other.





Again, I"ll re-iterate the "You'll have to put in the four years in dental school refrain." Suck it up; you'll be fine!
Reply:Yes . But you will not be working with young children . You will start to see people at the age of at least 9 years old up . And you will have to see people in a lot of pain . and hear them phoning you up and telling one of there brackets are after falling off . And first of all you have to study for a Bachelor of surgeon . And then study for a Masters of Science. And you have to get a good grade first in school to become a dentist and move on to be a orthodontist . And I feel that you have not the ability to even use the correct order of language to say this question .You don’t have the grades to even become a dentist





so stop fooling your self . And you have to be very good in all your subjects at school , Maybe you can become a cleaner in the orthodontist surgery . You can even spell haft of the words right .
