Dr. John Smith

Dr. John Smith earned his B.S. degree in Zoology from the University of Florida in 1971 and his D.D.S. degree in 1975 from Emory University. Graduating first in his dental class earned him the distinguished Alpha Omega Scholastic Award and membership into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Scholastic Society. Perhaps the most notable achievement in Dr. Smith's career came after he received his Masters Degree in Orthodontics (M.S.D.) from the University of Washington. His graduate work in implantology gained him the coveted Milo Hellman International Research Award presented each year by the American Association of Orthodontists for the most outstanding orthodontic research.

After graduation, Dr. Smith became interested in another area of orthodontics, “invisible braces”. Working with five other noted orthodontists he helped pioneer the development of invisible braces. Through his publications and lectures, he has taught the theory of invisible braces and other innovations to thousands of orthodontists throughout the world. Dr. Smith holds membership in the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), the American Lingual Orthodontic Association (ALOA), the Florida Society of Orthodontics, American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, and the Orange County Dental Society.
