individual patient based on his or her dental records and specific anomalies.

residential practice. Afterwards you can enroll in a post-graduate training
program in
orthodontics which leads you to

I don't think
I would like to become an orthodontist because it really doesn't interest me
and I don't see myself doing this for my whole life.
