ABO-Certified Orthodontist in Kissimmee, Florida

All orthodontists are dentists, but only a small percentage of dentists go on to become orthodontists. After dental school, an orthodontist completes an additional two to three years of specialized training focused on braces, clear aligners, bite correction, and jaw alignment. Dr. James Kendrick is a board-certified orthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), a distinction that reflects advanced clinical skill, years of focused experience, and a commitment to providing the highest standard of orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults in Kissimmee and Central Florida.

What Is the American Board of Orthodontics?

Founded in 1929, the ABO is the oldest specialty board in dentistry. Its mission is simple: to help patients find orthodontists who have gone above and beyond standard training to demonstrate exceptional knowledge and clinical results.

What Does Board Certification Mean for You?

Board certification is voluntary — not every orthodontist pursues it. To earn this distinction, Dr. Kendrick completed a rigorous evaluation of his clinical judgment, treatment results, and orthodontic knowledge. He also maintains ongoing continuing education to stay current with the best practices in orthodontic care.

For patients, this means you are choosing an orthodontist who holds himself to a higher standard.

Why It Matters

Great orthodontic treatment is about more than straight teeth. A well-planned treatment supports bite function, jaw balance, long-term stability, and confidence. Dr. Kendrick evaluates every patient carefully before recommending treatment — always focused on results that look good, feel good, and last.
