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 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.

Referred by primary dentist, and got a discount on my braces. The Orthodontists (both) are super friendly they try to work with you in everything. Take the time to explain everything with all details. Once my treatment was done i got my retainers and choose to get an extra pair and Doct gave me a discount! Staff is super friendly, energetic and always give you as much information possible.

I am a former patient of Dr. NADER EHSANI at San Marcos Orthodontics. I recently finished treatment (about 6 months ago) and wanted to write a review outlining the outstanding care this orthodontist provided. I had a complex case, many who I interviewed were not confident they could correct to perfection. However from the first initial visit Dr. EHSANI showed confidence and know how to correct my complex bite to perfection. This confidence did not waiver throughout the two plus year treatment plan. He and his staff were not only professional and competent but also caring from start to finish. The facility is extremely clean, sanitized and modern. The billing department is a will run machine that made no errors and honored the original contract without any suprises. Doctor Ehsani is a perfectionist who views his work as nothing short of art. I highly recommend Dr. Ehsani and his team to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment, specifically complex cases. You will not be disappointed and his care and services are worth every penny.

My daughter had a great experience at San Marcos Orthodontist. She finally got her braces off and is very happy! The office staff was always very friendly and informative.They were always willing to reschedule when necessary. They work well with kids and take the time to explain procedures to child and parent. The payment option worked for me and everything was covered up until the very end with no surprises.

I've just finished my treatment of ~2 years of Invisalign and the process has been great. I was very anxious before getting Invisalign because I have a complicated case but Dr. Sabet assured me that she would make sure my teeth are healthy throughout the process. Every time I left the office I felt that my teeth were in great care.

Such an amazing practice filled with awesome people! I got my braces on in September 2020 and my whole experience was amazing. Great thanks to Dr. Sabet and Junior for always being so kind and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend this place!

Needed an urgent replacement of an old broken permanent retainer that was very uncomfortable (originally installed elsewhere). They got me in right away and were up front about the costs on the phone prior to the appointment. The Orthodontist took the time to explain the procedure/pros/cons himself & answer my many questions. Best experience I've had in a Doctor's office by far.

My experience with San Marcos Orthodontics has been nothing but great! I went through a 2.5 year braces treatment. Throughout my treatment I always felt confident in both Dr. Eshani and Dr. Sabet. They treated me so kindly and reassured me every step of the way! Even the rest of the staff was always so warm, welcoming, and conversational. Every change was explained to me, and I left each appointment feeling better. I'm very grateful for them because now I believe my smile is even bigger and brighter than before. If you are considering what orthodontist office to go to for you or your kids, I highly and honestly recommend them! You won't be disappointed in the treatment, the results, or the staff.
