What Is ABO Certification?
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification is the highest level of achievement in the field of orthodontics. It is a voluntary credential that goes above and beyond the basic educational and licensing requirements to become an orthodontist.
To become board certified, an orthodontist must:
- Pass a comprehensive written examination
- Present detailed case reports for clinical evaluation
- Demonstrate superior treatment planning and results
- Commit to ongoing education and periodic recertification
Why Does ABO Certification Matter?
When you choose a board-certified orthodontist, you’re choosing someone who:
- Is held to the highest clinical and ethical standards
- Has proven their skill through in-depth case evaluations
- Is dedicated to continued learning and improvement
- Uses evidence-based techniques for optimal outcomes
Only about 1 in 3 orthodontists in the United States have earned this certification.
