Only a dentist that has completed a further 3 years of full-time, post-graduate specialist training, on a programme recognised by the Dental Council, can call themselves an Orthodontist.
If you are considering orthodontic treatment, ensure that your treatment provider is a qualified specialist orthodontist by checking that they are on the specialist register.
