Drs. Richard and Debra Shin are orthodontists. In order to become orthodontists, they had to be dentists first. On average, only six out of 100 dental school graduates go on to become orthodontists.

In order to practice orthodontics, both doctors spent 11 years in training (four years of college, four years of dental school, and three years of orthodontics residency). During their orthodontic training, they spent three years learning the skills needed to manage tooth movement (orthodontics) and to guide facial development.

They are both Board Certified Orthodontists. ABO Board Certification is a voluntary credential that represents an orthodontist’s personal and public commitment to the standards of specialty practice and lifelong learning.

The doctors at Shin Orthodontics have been recognized for their work with Invisalign®. Drs. Richard and Debra Shin are certified as Platinum Plus Providers due to their expert skills and the number of cases they treat each year.

Why should it matter to you? Choosing an orthodontist with this high level of accreditation will bring benefits during your aligner treatment.
