According to the ABO, 288 orthodontists were certified or recertified in the first and second quarters of 2021. 

The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certified or recertified 288 orthodontists during the first and second quarters of 2021, including the February 2021 Scenario-Based Clinical Examination. 

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 American Board of Orthodontics, I congratulate these orthodontists on their successful completion of the ABO certification and certification renewal process,” said Valmy P. Kulbersh, DDS, MS, ABO 2020-2021 president. “Their accomplishment in becoming board-certified attests to their commitment to serve and protect the public by delivering excellent orthodontic care.”
