American Board of Orthodontics responds

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Dr Borislow's letter to the editor in the May issue (Borislow AJ. A challenge that is surmountable: Rethinking American Board of Orthodontics certification. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop. 2017;151:833-4). The ABO welcomes orthodontists' opinions regarding the board-certification process. We are continually working to improve the process and to increase the number of board-certified orthodontists. We agree with those who believe that the general public does not understand the differences in educational requirements between the orthodontic specialist and the general practitioner.
