American Board of Orthodontics Doctor Certification
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) was founded in 1929. It is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. The ABO’s aim is to elevate the standards of the practice of orthodontia, to familiarize the public with its aim and ideals, and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.
The Board upholds four main objectives supported by its mission:
To evaluate the knowledge and clinical skills of graduates of accredited orthodontic programs by conducting exams and conferring time-limited certificates
To re-evaluate clinical knowledge and skills through administration of recertification exams throughout a Diplomate’s career
To support the development of quality graduate, postgraduate, and continuing education programs in orthodontics
To promote and encourage certification expertise throughout the world
BECOMING BOARD CERTIFIED
To become board certified, an orthodontist has to pass a rigorous set of written and clinical examinations, as well as a comprehensive review of his or her credentials. The initial process of becoming board certified can take anywhere from five to ten years. Once certified, the orthodontist must become recertified every ten years to maintain board-certified status.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE BOARD CERTIFIED?
A board-certified orthodontist, also known as a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, has been voluntarily examined by his or her peers on the basis of knowledge and clinical skills. Becoming board certified signifies the orthodontist’s pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics.

We had the best experience! We were visiting Mammoth and our daughter was in pain with her braces. Dr Beglin and team were so great. They fit us in and resolved our issue. We are so grateful and highly recommend Beglin Orthodontics.

I highly recommend Beglin Orthodontics! Dr. Beglin is an exceptional orthodontist who, along with his team of assistants, provides top-notch care. Maria and Mary, the orthodontic assistants, made my treatment carefree and were always there to answer all my questions. Sally and Paula, the office staff, were super friendly and helped me navigate all of the insurance options. The entire team made each visit a pleasant experience, making it feel like walking into a welcoming and friendly place. Additionally, Dr. Beglin’s prices are very competitive and exceptionally reasonable. If you’re looking for outstanding orthodontic care, Beglin Orthodontics is the place to go! Braces are not just for kids anymore. I'm 60 and I loved my new Smile!

Brought my son to Beglin orthodontics for his braces. All of his care and treatment was great. Staff feel like they are family with each other, which creates a warm caring environment. My son always had positive feedback after each visit. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for braces for themselves or their kids.

I can’t thank Dr. Beglin and his staff and the ones that worked with me the most -Mary, Maria, Paula enough for the caring and professional treatment I received. I was an “older adult” patient. Dr. Beglin was responsive to the work I wanted done and did not try to pressure me to do more. Wait times were minimal. The office environment was serene, spotless, and the equipment was state-of -the -art, and I have to say, impressive. I am very happy with the results, and I smile and show off my teeth whenever I can! I highly recommend.
