To become an orthodontist takes a minimum of 10 years. There is undergrad (BS in Chemistry for Dr. Wirant, 4 years), dental school (4 years), and then an orthodontic residency program (now 3 or 4 years).
After that, an orthodontist can become board certified by passing a written exam and presenting cases the orthodontist has completed to the American Board of Orthodontics. This is just one more credential that lets you know how seriously Dr. Wirant takes his profession.
We are conveniently located close to Spring-Ford High School. Many older children walk over during or after school and then get picked up by their parents. This can save time for parents and children. Your child can even wait at our office till you are ready!
