While all orthodontists must be licensed, only about 1 in 3 have taken the extra step to become Board Certified.
To become Board Certified, this process requires the orthodontist to showcase real patient care achievements by submitting detailed case reports that cover a wide variety of treatment challenges. Board certification is a voluntary accomplishment that not all orthodontists choose to pursue. To earn certification from the American Board of Orthodontics, an orthodontist must undergo a comprehensive evaluation by a distinguished panel of examiners, demonstrating their expertise, clinical skills, and professional judgment.
Successful completion of these steps results in Board Certification, which must be renewed every 10 years to ensure continued adherence to the highest standards of care.
Board Certification is a mark of excellence, signifying that an orthodontist has not only met but exceeded the standard requirements for practice. It reflects a dedication to continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that patients receive care that is informed by the latest research and best practices in the field. At Face Focused Orthodontics, Dr. Tim Yu’s Board Certification is part of our commitment to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients.
