This voluntary, but rigorous, process included a thorough written exam covering all areas of his profession. It also required him to present treated cases, which were evaluated by expert examiners on the Board of Orthodontists. This extra effort demonstrates Dr. Boleys pursuit of continued orthodontic proficiency and excellence.

Although Dr. Spencer Boley has lived in many cities, he has always felt like the Cincinnati area was home. A Kentucky native, Dr. Boley attended Eastern Kentucky University on a Division I baseball scholarship. While there, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology.
He then went on to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, where he received his DMD. After graduating from dental school, he decided to complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University Hospital here in Cincinnati. He quickly became engaged in the Cincinnati dental community, and he knew that he wanted to one day return to the area to practice.
However, his dream of becoming an orthodontist first led him to Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, where he completed a three-year orthodontic residency at the Maxwell S. Fogel Department of Dental Medicine, earning his certificate in orthodontics.
Dr. Boley remained in close contact with his orthodontic colleagues in Cincinnati after his residency, particularly Dr. M. A. Faris and Dr. Michael Uhde. He spent four years practicing orthodontics in a large practice in Fayetteville, Arkansas, before purchasing Dr. Faris Cincinnati Ohio orthodontic practice in 2014.
Dr. Boley and his wife, Kate, enjoy living in the Cincinnati area, as they feel it is the perfect place to raise a family. They love spending time outdoors with their four children, daughter Addison, son Leyton, and twin boys Maddox and Hudson.
Dr. Boley is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, which means he is in the 25% of orthodontists in the nation to be board-certified. He is also active in the American Association of Orthodontists, the Great Lakes Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Ohio Dental Association, and the Cincinnati Dental Society.

As a courtesy to you, we will file your benefit on your behalf, and help you maximize your benefit.
No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to complete Board Certification.The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievementa significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics. The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems.
Board certification is a voluntary achievement that all orthodontists do not choose to pursue. In order to become board certified by the ABO, an individual orthodontist is thoroughly interviewed by a highly respected panel of examiners to demonstrate their orthodontic knowledge, clinical skills and judgment.
One. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only certifying board in the specialty that is recognized by the American Dental Association.The ABO was founded in 1929 and is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. The boards purpose is to elevate the quality of orthodontic care for the public by promoting excellence through certification, education and professional collaboration.
Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontists highest commitment to excellence in orthodontics to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It represents a commitment by a licensed specialist that he/she has the necessary knowledge base and skills to treat patients to the highest of standards. It exemplifies a practitioners commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. Many orthodontists see it as a demonstration of their dedication to the specialty and the highest level of personal achievement.
Since the establishment of the ABO in 1929, the certification process requirements have continued to adjust to the demands of the specialty. Today, the process involves a thoroughWritten Examination (240 questions)covering all areas of information which an orthodontist should be knowledgeable.
Successful completion of this board exam allows the orthodontist to proceed to theClinical Examinationwhere they present detailed case reports from their practice/residency, demonstrating a history of excellence in patient care. These cases are evaluated by a panel of examiners and later discussed during an oral examination where the applicant is tested on a wide variety of academic and clinical topics.
After successful completion of these examinations, the orthodontist has officially achieved Board Certification, for a time-limited period. The orthodontist must go throughCertification Renewal every 10 yearsto maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.

Boley Braces is a wonderful practice. We are thankful for Sarah Moses who always takes care of us when we are in the office. She's also helped after hours if one of my kids has a bracket rubbing the wrong way or something feels weird. She's always happy to help. I've called her many of nights to check something out for me (she lives across the street)!

I am very impressed with this office, this staff and the treatment my daughter has received. Her mouth has made drastic changes in a few short months I cannot wait to see the end results. I highly recommend this for your orthodontist needs.

Friendly, professional and comfortable office personnel and environment! Dr. Boley is great with my kids! I was a patient of his predecessor Dr. Uhde as a teen 25 years ago, and Andrea, orthodontist assistant, is still with the practice, so that tells me this is the best place to get orthodontic care!

Great staff; great atmosphere. I've never observed any children being afraid to go to the 'dentist' when going to Dr. Boley's office. The girls are fun and personable and make my child fill at ease.

We have been coming here for over 3 years, we have always received glowing smiles and accommodating ,caring attitudes from Dr.Boley right down to every wonderful staff member. They will answer any question you have with a knowledge that puts you at ease. The office itself is modern and very clean. My son has some generalized anxiety issues but, he is very comfortable when coming for his appointments. We highly recommend them!

Had our first visit with our youngest today - first in our family to need braces. The staff is fantastic. The office is great. Though my son isn't crazy about getting braces the environment at Boley made it go so smoothly he hasn't complained at all.

For my 4th kid getting braces, we were refered to a different orthodontist than my 3 older kids. Originally we were signed up at the Harrison location. Beautiful office, comfortable and place for parents to sit with their child during the procedures. The parents at the Harrison location did sit with their children. After a few visits at the Harrison location I found out they had a more convenient location in Cincinnati, so we switched. The first thing I noticed was no seats for parents to sit with child in the Cincinnati location. When I asked to sit with her we were treated as if my request for a seat was unreasonable and unheard of. The lady who waited on us seemed quite annoyed. That part of our experience was not a good. The rest of the service was good. I am not an over protective first time parent. She is number 4 and my first 3 went to a different practice that openly welcomed parents to sit back with their child, plus the Harrison location did, too. I expected this to be common practice at all locations. This is what expected. All doctors welcome parents, I just do not understand why dentist think they are different.
