EDUCATION:It typically takes about 10 years to become an orthodontist. It takes 4 years to obtain a bachelor's degree, another 4 years of dental school, and then 2 more years in a post doctoral program devoted to the study of orthodontics.

DEMAND OR NEED FOR PROFESSION: 4 years of dental school and 2 to 3 years of an orthodontic graduate program. Yep, that's right.

REFLECTION: Sadly no, i wouldn't want to be an orthodontist because its ten flippin years of college and i  don't want to be wasting that much time on college when i could be having fun and getting a job that i enjoy. My brothers friends didn't go to college, they barely finished high school and they both make what around what four teachers make in a month. So that tells me that we don't really need to go to college to be successful people just go to college so they can ensure themselves a good life, to me that's just a waste of time and money.
