How to Become an Orthodontist | Dr. Tommy Bond

In this episode, I sit down with Tommy Bond, an alumnus of Tufts School of Dental Medicine and a 2020 graduate of University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine's specialty program in Orthodontics. Tommy reveals what it takes to match Ortho - one of the most competitive dental specialities. Tommy wears multiple hats - he is a cycle instructor with an energy and motivational teaching style that is hard to come by. Tommy's ability to excel in dental school and residency, while working multiple jobs, is a testament to his work ethic. The first in his family to go to college, Tommy is a self-made orthodontist and his story is an inspiring one. Be sure not to miss our conversation about dental school, match, residency and life beyond school.
