i really want to be an orthodontist and i was wondering how much school you would have to go through. i really don't want to spend a lot of time in school =/ i was also wondering if their are any schools in the U.S. that have a dentistry program (preferably in the northeast region) or if its alot of school does anyone know of any career close to an orthodontist where it doesn't require that much school?
