How long does it take to go through dental school plus specialty in orthodontics?

Here in UK -





5 years minimum at dental school. Then a further 2 years doing general professional training. (1 year practice, 6 months community and 6 months hospital). After that you need a further 2-3 years to do SpR training. You can then apply for your CSST and call yourself a consultant. If you simply wish to be a specialist practitioner, you can do that straight away although you should really do a lot of courses before then.

About eight years.
Reply:Hi! Here in USA you have to complete a 4 year undergraduate program, 4 years of dental school and then 3 years of orthodontics specialty. Most programs are a combination of classroom and clinic and are offered in such a way that the dentist can practice in a general office until h/she gets their license to specialize. ~M
Reply:In the US, 4 years of dental school for a DDS or DMD, then 2 years of postgraduate ortho training. This may include a masters degree or a certificate or both.
