Share your residency experience

Hi, can anyone please share their experiences in dental residency. Members of this forum usually talk about the admission process of residencies but I would like to know what life is like in dental residency.

Is it very similar to dental school (a lot of studying and not much free time)? Do you enjoy it, how much do you get paid, can you also work part time in addition to completing residency? How much free time do you have, are you happy that you pursued your specialty.

I am particularly interested in orthodontic residency but any experiences from other specialties are welcome as well.

Thanks in advance.

i am new to SDN and having trouble figuring it out...probably not the best place to post this. I have heard that the American Dental Association has a rule that a person cannot start an AEGD or GPR more than 1 year after graduation unless it is through the military. Is this true?
