Sure: Just as soon as you complete 4 years of dental school, pass your state's licensing examinations, then complete a 2-5 year orthodontic residency, purchase the equipment and supplies you need, and then learn how to work backwards in a mirror. Do you also want to attempt your own brain surgery? Doing sophisticated health care treatment on yourself is not prudent. Leave it to the pros.
