About Board Certification

American Board of Orthodontics Certification

Drs. Richard and Gretter Hannah are both Board Certified orthodontists. Every orthodontist must be licensed to practice, yet only about 1 in 3 have pursued the additional step of becoming Board Certified. This prestigious certification from the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) signifies a commitment that goes beyond the two to three years of advanced education necessary to specialize in orthodontics.
