What is a specialist?

In the UK, all dentists are permitted to provide orthodontics, and can even call themselves 'orthodontists'. In contrast, 'Specialist Orthodontists' undertake three years of extra full-time training and study. Exams must be passed before qualifying (MSc/MPhil and MOrth) to be registered as a 'Specialist' with the General Dental Council. You will be pleased to know that all 3 of our orthodontists are Specialist Orthodontists.
