	"What is an orthodontist?"
	An orthodontist is a dentist who has undergone specialized training to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities in patients. Dr. Jen Kin has combined his thirty years of General Dentistry knowledge and experience with orthodontics. Dr. Jen Kin has studied orthodontics with the renowned Dr. Carapezza of Wayland Massachusetts. He is a pedodontist-orthodontist in private practice and a professor at Tufts University Dental School. He is an advocate of early orthodontics. Dr. Jen Kin continues to travel to Boston for ongoing continuing education in orthodontics. Within the U.S., orthodontists are required to complete a two- to three-year advanced residency program in orthodontics following the completion of their four-year graduate dental program. Each of these programs must be accredited by the American Dental Association's Commission on Dental Accreditation.
