Your Expert Hometown Orthodontist

Dr. Hulwi spent 11 years in training to become an orthodontist (four years of college, four years of dental school, and three years of orthodontic residency). After his schooling, he went on to receive his board certification in orthodontics from the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential obtained by less than half of all practicing orthodontists.
