Hey! I am currently a high school student and I am super intrigued with Dentistry, and more specifically I plan on being an Orthodontist. I know that to become a Dentist it takes 4 years of undergrad and then an additional 4 years of Dental school. If I plan on specializing it will take 2-3 MORE years, and I really would like to cut that schooling down. What are some programs that take 6-7 years long for me to become a dentist? I also am aware that Dentistry school is hard to get into and I would save myself a lot of stress/money if I look into an programs. I am looking into some schools now so that I can figure out what exactly to be aiming for in high school. Any information would be helpful, thank you!
I believe what you’re looking for is “accelerated dental programs.” Google that and see if anything stands out!
ortho assistant?
Same here but I’m in college right now and confused. Nobody really helps you in college so basically you are on your own sadly.
