An Orthodontist is the most highly

qualified expert to diagnose, prevent and

treat any problems related to the

alignment of your teeth and jaws. To be

registered as an Orthodontist in

Australia, Orthodontists must have

completed a degree in Dentistry, followed

by a three-year full-time Doctorate

degree in Orthodontics in an accredited

University program. This equates to more

than 4000 hours of specialty training and

education beyond that required for a

general dentist qualification.
