How hard is it to become an orthodontist?

<p>For awhile now I've wanted to be an orthodontist, but I am worried I am not good enough to become one. I shouldn't have an issue getting into the University of Florida (where I'm going), but I noticed on their website that less than 20 people enroll in their orthodontics department each year, and even less graduate. Is anyone able to provide insight on the rigors of dental school, and will I be able to become one? If not, can I become something else?</p>

<p>check out studentdoctor.net They have forums for pre-doctoral students of all kinds.</p>
