A Great Profession
By John H. Huang DMD, MS on Saturday February 2, 2008
One of the great things about being an Orthodontist is watching your patients “grow up” right before your eyes. I recently had a patient who was in braces during his teenage years come back for his 10 year retainer check. In addition to having grown about a foot, he also had a wife, a new baby, and a promising job. Just as importantly, he attributed all his success to his still beautiful smile. In fact, many of our former patients have gone on to successful careers in business, politics, sports, and entertainment. We’ve had doctors, lawyers, actors and actresses, pageant winners, and even dentists and ORTHODONTISTS! It is fantastically rewarding to be able to play a small part in other people’s success. If you’re interested in learning more about careers in dentistry and orthodontics, check back with me next month for some personal experiences and hints.
