In contrast:

Dentist M.Sc. (Master of Science) Orthodontics

As a dentist, one can participate in a part-time Master of Science (MSc) program in orthodontics. This non-full-time education does not require a minimum working year at a university orthodontic clinic and involves a significantly lower amount of practical treatment and experience compared to the specialist dentist training. The Master of Science in orthodontics program includes 45 days with 10 lessons of 40 minutes each. In contrast, a specialist dentist in orthodontics requires a minimum of 3 years of full-time training.

Dentist with a Focus on Orthodontics

As a dentist, one can focus their practice on orthodontics and label it with 'Focus on Orthodontics.' This does not require specific training and a final examination. Titles related to orthodontics (Orthodontics) acquired abroad are equivalent to the specialist dentist in orthodontics only after successful recognition in Germany. Only then are individuals entitled to call themselves orthodontists.
