Meet the Doctors
Both Dr. Hunter and ReAnn Boss are board-certified orthodontists. The process to become an orthodontist takes 10-11 years. After completing an undergraduate degree, they spent 4 years in dental school to become dentists, and then they attended a highly competitive 30-month residency program in Orthodontics. In addition to being Orthodontists, they both practiced general dentistry for a combined 10 years. This gives them a unique ability to look at a case from both a specialist's and a general dentist's perspective, which allows them to better communicate with patients and their providers.
