Board-Certified Smile Expert
Dr. Vermette is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), which means he’s committed to going above and beyond to give you a beautiful smile.
To become board-certified, an orthodontist who has already received their license to practice chooses to take an additional exam.
First, the orthodontist takes a thorough written examination that covers every area of orthodontic knowledge and clinical skills. They then present patient cases that are evaluated by examiners chosen by the Board.
Having passed both exams, Dr. Vermette is proudly a board-certified orthodontist and will undergo periodic re-examination to maintain that status.
In addition, Dr. Vermette is an examiner for the ABO, participating in the design and administration of certification testing for orthodontists around the world.
This means you can be confident that you’re getting the best results possible. Dr. Vermette appreciates that you’ve entrusted your smile to him and trust that he has your best interest at heart.
