Abstract

The Society of Orthodontic Specialty Certifying Boards aims to encourage the formation of new certifying orthodontic boards worldwide and stimulate existing orthodontic certifying boards to review and revise their certification process. The main goal of Society of Orthodontic Specialty Certifying Boards is to motivate more orthodontists to become board certified by demonstrating their skills through time to protect the public and the specialty from unqualified practitioners. This article identifies the existing barriers in board certification and suggests a scenario-based clinical examination.
