An orthodontist is a type of dentist who specializes in straightening crooked teeth. I want to be orthodontist because it is a good payment for an hour and a year. Here's some things that orthodontists need, and have.

Being an Orthodontist interests me because I want to fix people's teeth because I think they should get as much help as possible with what's bothering them or if their teeth isn't straight. I also want to be a orthodontist because I'd do it no matter what the salary! It's FUN! I have the best time seeing patients who WANT to be there, and seeing their happiness when every day they look better. Nothing beats the appreciation when you take the braces off and they have whole new look! Plus, you get to know families and watch the kids grow up. You become part of their lives. You are a role model, a sympathetic ear, a friend It's the best job in the world, and TOTALLY worth all the hard work to get there.
