INTRODUCTION After I graduate with a high school diploma, I would like to become an orthodontist. Orthodontics has fascinated me since I was in third grade when I got braces. I have had my braces on for seven years now, therefore I frequently visit my orthodontist. Throughout my treatment process, I have seen the improvement made in the shape of my mouth. The idea of being able to drastically improve someone 's smile by reforming, straightening, and aligning an individual 's mouth has always intrigued me.
ORTHODONTIST RESEARCH The expertise needed to be successful in orthodontics in is the ability to easily maneuver your hands. As a student, I should take courses that will prepare me for admission to the pre dental college of my choice. In general, my high school courses should include chemistry, biology, english, mathematics, speech, history, sign language, and any other courses that include the development of hand skills. Courses like so, which specialize in improving my communication skills and they will also assist in the preparation of my college studies. Critical Thinking is necessary to achieve mastery in this area because orthodontics requires the ability to identify and solve problems, therefore a course in which this is taught will be helpful. Orthodontists are usually associated with
Orthodontics is a specialty which requires at least two years of additional schooling after graduating from an accredited dental school to focus on correcting jaws and teeth that are not in proper position. Dentists generally offer services associated with dental hygiene, gum disease, tooth decay, teeth whitening, bridges, crowns, and veneers. On the other hand, orthodontists are dentists who have obtained further education to specialize in dental issues related to crowded or gappy teeth, misaligned teeth, and overbites or underbites.
There are many different career paths and a variety of jobs for people to choose. Different people are suited for different jobs. After high school I want to further my education to become a dental hygienist. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and provide dental care. They also educate patients on ways to improve and maintain good oral health. I believe I would be a perfect for this job. I enjoy helping others and I care very much about my health. I get to do a job (hopefully in the future) where I can learn about the human mouth, how to treat the patients, and also educate patients on proper oral care and technique’s.
I want to go to University of Michigan for Dentistry in Ann Arbor to become an orthodontist. I want to go there because it is near to my house and they offer many resources for becoming an orthodontist. Once I graduate I will start my own orthodontist practice in Key West, Florida. The name of my orthodontist practice will be Tambawalla Orthodontics . My
The recommended classes you should take in high school are biology, chemistry and certain math classes. Some of these classes may apply towards college credit. In college you need take anatomy, physiology, nutrition, radiology, pathology,medical ethics, head and neck anatomy, patient management and periodontics. Periodontics is specific to the study of gum disease. After taking all of these classes in a two year degree. Once you have your degree you can start applying for job interviews to try to get the desired job you want. This plan starting at high school throughout college will lead me to hopefully becoming a dental
The career I have chosen is Dental Hygiene. I am very interested in this career because I have the opportunity to teach people and educate them about the health of their mouth. Some of the things that dental hygienists do include taking x-rays, cleaning patients teeth, educating patients on the benefits of good oral hygiene, and treating periodontal diseases of the mouth. The importance of a healthy mouth truly affects the entire body. Plus everyone would enjoy a pretty smile and a good set of straight teeth.
Most orthodontists take four years in regular college to get a bachelor degree. Their degree is usually one of the science fields like biology, physics, or chemistry. Then after their college degree, they have to go to a dental school for another four years. Dentists can stop their education here, but orthodontists have to go two years at an orthodontic specialty program.

Hey Alexa! Braces are what sparked my interest in the dental field too! Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be a dental hygienist, but overtime my mind has changed. Now that I have circled back around to the dental field, I have decided to start out in dental assisting and work towards getting my dental hygiene later in life. It's really interesting to learn about what sparked a person’s interest in a particular
I have always dreamed of being in the medical field. But, there came a point in my life where income was more important than education. After graduating in June of 2011 from The Charter school of San Diego, I had the perfect career plans. Little did I know a perfect future was never promised. The trials I have overcome, have molded me into the hardworking ambitious young adult I am today. I am truly going to be an amazing Dental Assistant.
My initial step toward pursuing Orthodontics as a career started in Sweden when I began working as a Dental Assistant in a private practice in Sweden that was shared by a general dentist as well as an orthodontist. My duties included assisting the doctor, laboratory work and an orthodontic auxiliary. This is when my fascination and wonder began while witnessing first hand, what orthodontic transformation can do for an individual. I consider this experience as the first step of a thousand mile journey toward pursuing Orthodontics as a career. My interest in Orthodontic was reinforced when I spent time in Orthodontic Department at University of Pennsylvania during the Preventive and Interceptive Clinic in junior year.
My dream job is to be a dental hygienist and has been the same since I was a little girl. I have an interest in how health can affect one’s body. I would like to educate others how important it is to keep your body, including teeth, healthy and clean. To see people who have not cleaned their teeth in years compared to people who are able to see the dentist every six months, is a drastic difference. Some people may think it does not matter, but lack of dental care actually takes a toll on your health. I want to peruse this career to help other’s think. I will enjoy helping other people by showing them the importance of keeping their teeth cleaned. Contrary to popular belief, a tooth brush does not do all the work, that is also why it is so important to have a dentist to make sure you are getting the cleaning you need to stay healthy. Another reason why I want to pursue this career is I work best in an oriented atmosphere. Making sure people are comfortable with where they are and make sure the patients are taken care of. Creates a very friendly environment. That is why my passion is a dental hygienist.
A career in Dentistry is my main goal in life. I want to pursue a career in Dentistry for many reasons. Being a Dentist, you get to aid people and make them feel better about themselves. I have the personal qualities to be a Dentist and know that I would be great at the job. I would look forward to going to work every day. Dentistry contains many tools and oral practices that I am not familiar with. It would be awesome to get to be familiar with the lifestyle of a Dentist. Someday, I might even be able to live their lifestyle. Focusing in school is the main priority for all jobs. Dentistry also involves a diverse (longer) college route than most. This means that the academic requirements to be a Dentist are quite time consuming, but the
After almost a lifetime of going to orthodontist appointments for myself, I began to realize what a great job becoming an orthodontist would be. When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I had began the first stage of braces. After that, I was given instructions of how to properly take care of my teeth, such as which foods I couldn’t eat. I did not enjoy the entire experience throughout the years, but was relieved when they were removed before my first year of high school. Then I put on my retainer, and discovered it was like having braces
My life has truly been transformed by Dentistry; it has boosted my confidence and aligned me with the career path of my dreams. Early on in life, every aspect of Dentistry captured my heart. Learning to cope with my embarrassing smile inspired me to want to help others by giving them what they always dreamed of. Knowing I have the power to make someone's dreams come to life is the reason I wake up each morning with a drive and desire to achieve my goals. While striving with a strong focus, packaged with confidence and sincerity, I will pursue my passion through demanding training. I not only plan to be a hardworking, determined and ambitious student, but with my skills as an orthodontist, it will further my ability to be an active member in
