Answers:
High school courses- (U)niversity biology, math, physics, chemistry and English!. You'll need to get an undergraduate degree from either college or university in some kind of medicine (nursing for example for 4 years) from there, this gives you your Bachelor of Science degree!. Next you apply to dental school with university and you write your DAT (dental admissions test)!. You will then complete dental school in 3-4 years!. After that you will have either your DDS or DDM!. You can then apply to a specialized course for orthodontics (if you choose to be an orthodontist)!. This takes about 3 years to complete!. Your looking at a lot of school but big bucks! Good luck and study hard you'll need to have a very high average because dental school is so extremely competitive!.
