IntroductionAll I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. The career I want to be is an orthodontist. The main part of and Orthodontist job is to fix peoples teeth to make them beautiful and straight. What got

me interested in this career is when I got my braces off and seeing how happy I was with my smile and teeth I wanted to make other

areas people don’t even have dental care or insurance for this.

The orthodontist I go to is called lake point & it would be pretty cool to work there, So that’s my

goal unless I move far away.

SummaryWhat I look forward to the most in this job is being able to straighten peoples teeth up and give them

beautiful teeth & smiles. I don’t look forward to repairing cracked braces. I don’t want to do this because we applied them once so we shouldn’t

have to do it again. Innless they were doing something they weren't suppose to. I still am pretty

sure that I want to do this career.
