I am an aspiring orthodontist in a residency program, seeking writing assistance, sitting surrounded by dental models and tools in a study environment.

I excelled academically, graduating first in my class with a ranking of 99.7%. Consequently, many career paths were open to me. However, as a child, I already had the goal of becoming a dentist and an orthodontist. My choice arose because I had benefitted from the skills of an excellent orthodontist and knew that his skills and knowledge had transformed my self-esteem and image, so I became determined to do the same for others. I have never regretted my decision to pursue dentistry. I seek to acquire the specialist skills and knowledge to treat the most complex cases, undertake meaningful research, and pass on my skills and passion to others.


I graduated from dental school with a 1st Honor degree and was ranked second in my class. During my internship, I decided to try several different specialties; I learned much and greatly enjoyed this exposure. I was confirmed in my original choice of orthodontics. I am aware that this specialty is not for everyone. It calls for a wide range of uncommon skills and characteristics, such as a solid esthetic sense and practical and creative skills to enable an envisioned outcome to become a reality. I am intrigued by the fascinating and rapid advances in techniques and materials in the specialty, and I hope to play my part in future innovation. I know this often requires creating and maintaining long-term relationships with patients. It calls for the ability to quickly gain their confidence and trust and explain complex treatments in simple terms.

Having qualified, I was offered a post as a Demonstrator in the Department of Orthodontics at the Faculty of Dentistry of ____ University, which, I believe, demonstrates my superiors’ confidence in my ability and potential. The work has enabled me to complement my post-graduate education in the specialty and assist in research and the teaching process, which I have enjoyed.


It is clear to me that the skills and characteristics of a good orthodontist overlap with those of a good researcher; among these are the ability to plan effectively, to set challenging but realistic goals, to think creatively and originally, and to cooperate happily with others to achieve a common goal. I possess these skills and characteristics. I am very keen to extend my research experience. I am particularly interested in assisting in research on treating patients with craniofacial syndromes such as cleft lip and palate and in new treatments, techniques and materials, and new aligners. I hope to have the opportunity will be granted to do so will arise within the program.


I have lived, studied, and worked only in Saudi Arabia but have traveled as a tourist in Europe and the Middle East. I enjoy being exposed to new cultures and sharing insights into my rich heritage. Health provision requires cultural awareness and sensitivity to create positive relationships with colleagues and patients. I am a friendly, outgoing person who enjoys working as a team member and leading a team when called upon.

I am particularly attracted to the program because of its prestigious history in teaching the specialty, the faculty's renown, and the high professional regard its graduate's command. If selected, I shall seek to add value to the program and apply myself with my customary diligence and enthusiasm.

I have an excellent academic record; I have some research experience; I possess the characteristics, skills, and interests which will enable me to add considerable value to the program and that I have the potential to become a highly skilled and effective specialist. However, my main recommendation is a genuine passion for the specialty and an ardent desire to acquire, develop and apply high-level specialist skills and knowledge to benefit many.


Thank you for considering my application.
