Daniel Richmond | U of Toronto (2020-23)
Hi everyone! My name is Daniel. I was born and raised in London, ON. I did my undergrad at UWO followed by dental school at McGill University. It was here while studying for my 3rd year orthodontics exam that I fell in love with the specialty and haven’t looked back since. I am really enjoying my ortho residency and very excited for the future of the specialty with the emergence of so much new and exciting technology. Having interviewed at multiple schools in Canada and the US, I feel like I have a strong understanding of what schools are looking for in ortho applicants. Looking forward to sharing my experiences and helping any of you aspiring to match into orthodontics!
