Based on a national salary survey report for Orthodontists, the median salary for an Orthodontist with less than one year of experience is $90,000. From there, it's roughly between $140,000 and $160,000, whether you have 2 years of experience or 20+ years.

Orthodontist's median salary $121,000, their income could be affected by the size of their company or industry they are working for. In addition, the state or area they provide services can also affect their earning.

it really varies, i've seen some that work in high traffic areas making 150k and some in rural areas making 1.5mil a year. Depends where, how much, and how quickly you work. It also depends on how much you charge!

I have looked into becoming an orthodontist. It is said that they only make 300,000 thousand a year with 5-10 years of experience. If you get a normal bachelors degree than you will never get more than 400,000 unless you are in a huge city like la or new York.If+you+have+a+masters+degree+you+might+get+a+little+more+than+400,000.If+you+have+a+doctorate+degree+you+make+up+to+500,000+depending+on+where+you+live+and+how+many+years+of+experience+you+have
