The branch of dentistry dealing with the prevention and
correction of irregular teeth, as by means of braces.
Fact: You help people feel better about themselves by
improving their teeth.
What got me interested in being an orthodontist is when I got
my braces on. Everyone was so nice at my orthodontist and I
love my teeth now and I love my orthodontist that fixed my
teeth. I want to help fix peoples teeth so they can be happy
and boost their confidence.
I will be researching salary, work hours, days off, collage
requirements and vacations.

My back up career is to be a professional basketball player.
There are a lot of responsibilities such as conditioning and
staying in shape.
Active working conditions.
Training is working out, practicing and going to the gym.
I think this would be fun because I love playing basketball
and being active.
The earning would be around 15,000,000. It depends on how
good you are.
My feelings are positive because I love helping people
and it looks like a really fun job. One thing I look forward to
the most in this career is to helping people have a beautiful
smile. One thing I'm least looking forward to is sometimes I
might hurt patients. I've learned a lot about being an
orthodontist from this project. I've learned what the salary
was and that sometimes this job could be complicated. Now
that I've done this project I cant wait to go to collage and
learn so many new things about this career.
