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.

If I could give them more stars I would. This is a really great team of people who are experts at their craft! I could not be more happy with the results! My teeth are super straight, and look great. My teenage son just got braces on and is under Dr. Hilty & his team's care, and I cant wait to see his transformation. I have a 9 year old who will be a future patient of theirs. If you are going to invest in orthodontia these are the folks to trust with that investment. Thank you Kelli, Debbie, Janice, and Dr. H for being awesome!
