You must have a Bachelor's or Master's degree to enter dental school; nursing or medical science is a good choice for this degree. Then you have to enroll in a 4yr dental college and pass the Dental Admissions Test. Then pass a Science of Orthodontics course before the last step of passing the College of Dentists Board examination

Yep, you can go to dentistry school. First you'll need a science degree, then a dentistry degree. After that you can specialize in orthodontistry. The whole process will take about 10 years.

Orthodontist is one of the nine recognized dental specialties in which some dentists chose to train and practice. A degree in dentistry, also known as a 'dental surgeon', is a prerequisite from any accredited universities or schools. In some countries dental practitioners are required to obtain license prior to specialization on any field of choice.
