What is an orthodontist?
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, "An orthodontist is a specialist in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. All orthodontists are dentists, but only about 6% of dentists are orthodontists. Admission to orthodontic programs is extremely competitive and selective. An orthodontist …must complete college, dental school, and two to three years of advanced specialty education in an American Dental Association-accredited orthodontic program."
What is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics?
Diplomate certification by the American Board of Orthodontics is an indication that an orthodontist has completed a voluntary and rigorous program of continuing education and passed an exam covering all phases of orthodontic care. Less than one third of orthodontists in the United States have achieved this level of distinction in their profession.

It is easy to see why Dr. Danko is so highly regarded in the area. He is extremely competent and kind. It has been nearly twenty years since he did my braces and I still get compliments on my smile. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I went to Dr.Danko for an Invisalign consultation. I have been self cautious about my smile all my life. Now 34 I decided I needed to address it. Dr.Danko and his staff were informative and the quality of service was great. Now I wake up every day and I no longer worry about smiling.

Orthodontist and staff are extremely rude and inconsiderate. We constantly have to return a day after to fix what Dr. Danko messed up. The appointments are never on time and it has been 3 years, but my daughter's seem to only have gotten worse. I would not reccomend this orthodontist to anyone, even my worst enemy.

Horrible experience. This dentist has no bedside manner at all. He lets my child wait for 1 hour, no even talking to him and no expaining to the parent at all. Even when I ask to talk to him, his staff gets so upset and never give any information. Dr. Danko uses out dated material, that other othodontists don't use anymore, no wondering the teeth of my child are never straight. To tell you the truth, he was better off without the braces
