Who makes more money, a dentist or orthodontist?

Answer by  jamieellison (1637)

Definitely an orthodontist! Orthodontists do additional training besides dental school to achieve proficiency in their chosen practice. This specialized training allows them to command more money for their services. Additionally, the dental insurance reimbursements are better for orthodontists than general practice dentists.

Although it can vary, orthodontists usually make more money than regular dentists. Everything involving orthodonture is quite expensive; while some other dental procedures are costly, many are not. This results in orthodonists usually earning more money.

If you own your own practice you could make a lot being a Dentist. However, since an Orthodontist does more intricate work. This is work that a regular Dentist can't or won't do. So they tend to make more money.
