Every city that I've looked at that has a 10,000+ population there is a orthodontist. How can a new orthodontist trying to establish a new practice possibly make it in an environment like this!?

The same way doctors do it. The same way any job does it really. You don't need to find some secluded population that has never been to an orthodontist to set up a practice. Old orthodontists retire, new ones come in. With the rising population more will be needed in the future.
Then again that's just how I see it.

If you've got a specific area you could also add that to your search criteria, look at that areas craigslist/backpage, or newspapers. I would think that you would have no trouble at all locating in any medium sized city you chose. When you near graduation recruiters will be hounding you.

Graduate high school, obtain your bachelors, get into dental school, obtain your dental degree and thennn worry about opening up your own practice. You still a long way to go and worrying about it now is pointless.
