The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) granted certification to 221 orthodontists during the third and fourth quarters of 2022, while another 245 orthodontists completed their 10-year certification renewal requirements during this time period. ABO Board Certification is a voluntary credential that represents an orthodontist’s personal and public commitment to the standards of specialty practice and lifelong learning.
Attaining first-time ABO certification requires successful completion of the Written Examination and then the Clinical Examination. Orthodontists gaining recertification must successfully complete the Recertification Examination and requirements.
“On behalf of the Board, I congratulate all those who have completed the certification or certification renewal processes,” said Dr. Patrick F. Foley, ABO 2022-2023 president. “The continued interest in pursuing certification sends to the public the message that excellent orthodontic care can be best delivered by the orthodontic specialist.”
The ABO currently represents 58% of AAO membership.
