Forty second-year residents at Atlanta, GA-based Georgia School of Orthodontics (GSO), the largest orthodontic residency program in the world, achieved a 100% passage rate for the American Board of Orthodontics’ Written Examination.

“We extend our congratulations to GSO’s 2025 class of residents for its remarkably high passage rate of the American Board of Orthodontics Written examination,” said Randy Kluender, D.D.S., M.S., President & Chairman, Board of Trustees. “This is not only a testament to the residents of our 36-month program, but also to our exceptionally skilled faculty and staff for helping our residents achieve this prodigious goal, and to embark on a successful career in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.”

The Written Examination is a comprehensive exam that assesses the examinee’s knowledge of basic sciences and clinical concepts based on criterion-referenced testing.
