What’s a “Board Certified” Orthodontist?

There are very few board-certified orthodontists in the state of Idaho. Luckily, at Hillam Orthodontics, all of the orthodontists are board-certified. Board certification is obtainable after an orthodontist receives their license, then completes a written exam, clinical exam, peer review, and then renews this process every ten years. Because of their board certification and experience, at Hillam Orthodontics, the orthodontists offer the highest level of care possible.
