Hi all, I am currently doing an intern in dental assistant. I was thinking to do dental hygiene next and then go to dental school, because I want to he an orthodontist. I am currently stuck in the situation to decide should i gl directly to dental school or should I do dental hygienists? Also, how can i go directly to dental school what should I be doing now?

If you want to be an orthodontist you go to dental school. Why wouldn’t you try to go directly?

Go directly to dental school if you want to be an orthodontist. No point of wasting your time.

Sometimes you get stuck in your intermediate steps because life happens. Aim high now while you still can.

I feel you need a lot of guidance and we need a lot of details to help you.
Like you can't jump from being an assistant to being a dental student.
You need to take dental schools pre-requisites ( bio 1/2, chem 1/2, orgo1/2, physics 1/2 + 2 English courses and/or biochem and/or microbiology and/or others depending on the schools) and at least finish 3 years of a bachelor degree etc etc etc.
Can you give us more details about your education level and other relative info?
