Orthodontist Requirements in Tennessee

Orthodontist practice in Tennessee is regulated by the Tennessee Board of Dentistry.

Scope of practice — what an orthodontist may do, and under what level of supervision — is set by state law and changes over time, so verify current rules with the board before relying on them.

Tennessee Board of Dentistry · Last verified: September 2026

Tennessee licenses orthodontists as dentists first, so the state's dentist licensure rules apply — and Tennessee also issues a separate specialty certification, and a dentist may not advertise as a specialist or limit practice to a specialty without it.
