Question: Education of a dentist vs. orthodontist?
do orthodontist have specialized education after dental school? and also, what is a residency?

Answers:

Yes orthodontists have to specialize. The residency program lasts three years. I've heard of some that are two years, but I don't know where they are.

A residency is just what they call the post doctorate education. You do less book learning and more practical application

I am a dentist



Residency refers to when a new Dr is required to spend time in a hospital immediately after graduating.YES, to be an Orthodontist you have to attend additional classes after graduating from Dental School.



An orthodontist has an additional 2 to 3 years of education.
