Dental Specialists (including Orthodontists) diagnose and treat diseases, injuries, irregularities and malformations of teeth and associated structures in the mouth and jaw using surgery and other specialist techniques.
Qualified and experienced Dentists can undertake specialist training through the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons to become a Dental Specialist. It is also common to complete postgraduate studies.
Registration with the Dental Board of Australia is required.
