abstract
Like all health care professionals, orthodontists are concerned about the need and demand for their services. Orthodontists should experience an increase in demand for their services as a result of an increasing population and an aging orthodontist population. How many additional orthodontic graduates do we need per year in Texas? Based on many factors, Texas dental schools could graduate additional students per year to be consistent with those factors. In conclusion, it appears that Texas can easily support three graduate orthodontic residency programs. As we enter the next millennium, the future of orthodontics has never looked better.
