We’re thrilled to announce that our 5-star Orlando orthodontist, Dr. Jason Battle, is board-certified with the American Board of Orthodontics — and he’s the only board-certified orthodontist in Waterford Lakes, Winter Springs and Oviedo!
Let’s break down why board-certification matters when looking for the best orthodontist in Orlando, why only a portion of orthodontists go the extra mile to earn their certification, and what it all means for you:
Choosing the Best Orthodontist Near You
Choosing the right orthodontist is one of the most important parts of ensuring a successful smile transformation and achieving the best possible result from orthodontic treatment!
After all, your orthodontist (Dr. Battle) is the one who creates your personalized treatment plan and brings your new smile to life. Braces and clear aligners (Invisalign®/3M™ Clarity™) are simply the tools he uses to turn your treatment plan into a beautiful, lasting smile.
So when you’re deciding which orthodontist in Oviedo / Winter Springs or Waterford Lakes is best for you, choosing a board-certified orthodontist is key!
What does board-certified mean for an orthodontist?
An ABO orthodontist is an orthodontist who is officially certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. (The American Board of Orthodontics is the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists.)
Orthodontists don’t have to pursue board certification; it’s an additional and voluntary credential that not every orthodontist puts the time and energy into earning.
The ABO certification shows Dr. Battle’s commitment to perfecting his skills and techniques in order to provide the highest possible standard of care for you and your family.
Now, let’s learn how it’s done!
How orthodontists become board-certified
For an orthodontist to earn his or her board certification with the ABO, here’s what they have to do:
- Pass rigorous written and clinical exams.
The path to board certification requires passing an in-depth written examination that evaluates an orthodontist’s understanding of everything from biomechanics to advanced treatment planning. This isn’t just a test of knowledge; it’s a test of mastery.
Once the written exam is passed, orthodontists must present detailed case studies of their own patients. These cases are closely reviewed by a panel of expert orthodontists who evaluate the precision, outcomes, and overall quality of the treatment. Only orthodontists with the highest level of skill and attention to detail earn the board’s approval.
- Commit to ongoing excellence – for life!
Earning the certification is just the beginning. To maintain their board-certified status, orthodontists must regularly demonstrate their commitment to advancing their skills through continuing education and case reviews. This ensures that board-certified orthodontists (like Dr. Battle) are always at the forefront of innovation and clinical excellence.
From here, the ABO requires that orthodontists renew their certification every 10 years to maintain an active certification. During the renewal process, orthodontists typically need to complete continuing education, submit additional case reviews for evaluation, and meet other requirements set by the ABO.
This means that board-certified orthodontists are dedicated and required to stay at the forefront of orthodontic advancements and continuously improve their craft — for life! Isn’t that the type of commitment you want for your doctor – or your child’s doctor?
