10. Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, University of Southern California
A private institution, the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry, offers specialized study in oral maxillofacial surgery, oral medicine and, in the interest of this list, orthodontics. The school admits just over 140 students annually, which is slightly above average among schools offering similar programs, and boasts an average DAT score of 20 among enrolled students–roughly average among all schools.
USC’s program sets itself apart from other dental schools through its work in the community. With over 200 clinics and community partnerships, the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry utilizes the world’s largest mobile clinic to treat over 70,000 patients each year, many of whom are members of Los Angeles’ homeless community, contributing to the largest community outreach program of any dental school in the nation. And now, let’s see what else we have in our list of best schools for orthodontics.
