Re: Do Dentists make more money than Doctors in USA?


(Actually, in Australia, orthodontists make $1m+ incomes)

That's $750,000 US and I doubt that they earn that.I'm assuming that he
doesn't own multiple offices and it's a usual office with just his staff
etc. Dentistry and other jobs and professions which rely on your actual
labor(and profit from materials) are limited by the fact that you can only
attend to so many patients per day.


The figure was given to me by a dentist (nor orthodontist) in Australia
- I assumed that being in the dental industry they know how much
orthodontists earn.

I was a bit sceptical at first, so I asked some people who have kids
how much a) they paid their orthodontist and b)how much time in total
the orthodontist spent with their kids, including initial consult, etc.

Commonly, the answers were a) 4 - 5K b)a total of about 1.5 - 2 hours.
