It Takes A Specialist FAQs

Only Board Certified orthodontists have been granted access to the video.  While its purpose is to educate the general public, we see this as an added value offering by the ABO for board certified orthodontists only.  Please contact the ABO at info@AmericanBoardOrtho.com if you are aware of a non-board certified orthodontist using the video. 

Log into your ABO dashboard to access the video in multiple places:

  • Under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the web page
  • Under the Resources tab in the Educational Toolkit – Complimentary downloads section
  • Direct link at the bottom of the Resources section
