Jack B. Hilty, DDS, MS, PC has enjoyed living and practicing orthodontics in the Roaring Fork Valley since 1984. The unsurpassed outdoor mountain activities brought Dr. Hilty to the valley, but the amazingly warm and friendly people have kept him here.
While in the valley he has been active in the community as a coach of youth level soccer, a volunteer member of the Aspen Highlands Ski Patrol, and has served on the board of Trustees of the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork. He and his wife Nancy are raising their son Max and daughter Summer.
Dr. Hiltys interest in orthodontics started working in his fathers office in northwestern Ohio. His formal training is an ongoing process as new techniques such as Invisalign treatment and Damon system of braces treatment are developed. Dr. Hilty successfully completed an extensive clinical examination conducted by the American Board of Orthodontics in 1993. This honor is shared by only one-third of practicing orthodontists.
No. All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to become a board certified orthodontist. 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 thorough Written 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 the Clinical Examination where 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 through Certification Renewal every 10 years to maintain their certification status by demonstrating this continued level of patient care.

I'm so pleased with my results from Dr. Hilty and his team! I came in with crooked teeth and they exceeded my expectations with Sparks, weekly aligners. My teeth are straight and beautiful. I can smile confidently again! The team completed the transformation in 10 months, the estimated time frame. It was easy and painless. Thank you!

Dr. JACK HILTY and all the staff at this office are great. Always have a smile on their face and always eager to make sure my needs are met. As an adult who needed braces, they made me feel comfortable and made me feel even more beautiful. Not once was anyone negative and the best part i never had to wait at all. They always accommodated my work schedule and could get in and out. Thank you all his team!

Dr. Hilty and his crew are amazing! Because of them I am finally happy with my smile. They were so friendly and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, even in the new Covid friendly environment. They were very informative and made sure that any of my questions, whether it be in regards to billing and payment to the orthodontic process, were answered. I have already recommended them to friends and will continue to do so!

The orthodontic treatment that I received from Dr. Hilty and staff was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. My braces experience was a lot smoother than I initially thought it would be thanks to this amazing team of orthodonic professionals. Thank you for fixing my smile!

I have 2 kids with braces and I couldn't be happier with choosing Dr. Hilty's team. From Kelly at the reception scheduling 2 appointments at once, to easy payments, to happy and friendly service. Dr. Hilty is kind and my kids like him! One set of braces is off and her teeth look great and my son's teeth are shaping up so nicely. I have recommended this office to several friends, the fact that he is in Aspen makes it so convenient for us. I am thrilled with this choice!
