What is the starting salary a year for orthodontist?

Approximately $20-30K a month. More if you're a parter in a prestigious practice. My cousin is 32 years old, has been an orthodontist for 7 years and has had his own private practice for the past 5 years. Last year, he netted approximately $970K. He lives in a $1.4 million home in Orange County, CA and drives a Mercedes SL65 AMG, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Range Rover. His wife does very well also. She is a Diagnostic Radiologist and is a partner at a prestigious medical imaging center. She netted approximately $550K last year. So together, you're talking about over $1.5 million, so they're doing OK.
