In order to become an orthodontist in the UK, you need to have a good academic background and complete a rigorous training program. It all starts with good A-level grades, usually ABB, to secure a place at the university to study dentistry. This five-year program leads to a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) degree. After qualifying, work as a dentist and gain experience in all fields of dentistry.
The next step is to apply for a place in an orthodontic training program. This training usually requires another 3 years of study and consists of both academic and clinical training. At the end of this period, if you are successful in the orthodontic membership exam (M, Orth), you will become a specialist orthodontist. Orthodontists are in high demand and can make a real difference in people's lives.
