In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Don’t get too worked up before showing your parents the grade. Anxiety and nervousness will cause you to overthink the situation. Remember, this will one day be unimportant and a distant memory. The sooner you explain what has happened, the sooner it'll be over, and you can start looking towards doing better.  Take deep breaths and focus on pleasant thoughts. Take your mind off of your grade for an hour by doing something that makes you happy, like reading a book or playing a game. Think of the positive things you have accomplished. This way, you can share the good news as well as the bad news. If you can’t think of any new accomplishments, come up with a plan for improvement. Prepare a solid plan or physical proof of how you plan to do better in the future.  Plan a meeting with your teacher, or talk to your teacher about the bad grade beforehand. Prepare a  study plan. Don’t hide or throw away the grade. It may be tempting to hide, “forget” about, or throw away your grade. Do not do this. Chances are, the bad grade will come to light eventually. The bad grade may need to be signed, or it will reflect in a poor grade on a report card.  It is always better to go the honest route. The punishment and reaction will be worse if you delay the news. Try to prepare the right environment for breaking bad news. Don’t wait to tell them in a crowded area, or during a fun family outing. A good time to tell them would be during or after dinner, when they are unlikely to be caught up in other responsibilities.  Don’t talk to them as soon as they come home from work. Allow them some time to unwind before you start a serious conversation with them. Schedule a time with your parents if you are not sure when to talk to them. Don’t approach the situation in a defensive or rude manner. Your parents will respond better to good manners and a thoughtful approach. Talk to your parents as you were taught to speak to your elders.  Never resort to inappropriate name-calling or cursing. Do not raise your voice. Keep your voice calm and steady.
Summary: Calm yourself down. Prepare yourself before telling them. Pick the right moment. Be respectful.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The requirements to practice as an orthodontist varies from state to state. Most states only ask you to get a dental license, which allows you to practice general dentistry or a specialty, like orthodontics. But some states, like Michigan, Oregon, and Idaho, require both a dental license and an orthodontic license.  Contact your state's dental board to find out which license(s) you need before you can begin your practice.  Find out what you need to qualify for a license. In most cases, you will need dental school transcripts, a passing score from a national or regional dental board exam, and completion of an orthodontic residency. Depending on where you live, the application fee can be anywhere from $300-$600. You will also have to submit to a background check and drug testing. Even though you've already passed your DAT and NBDE, you still have to prove to the state that you meet their standards before you can practice. The exam varies from state to state. Contact your state dental board for information on the test's content and structure, and for guides to help you prepare.  Once you pass the licensing exam, you can legally practice as an orthodontist in the state. If you move to a different state, you will have to repeat the licensing process. Some states will exempt you from the licensing exam if you passed it in another state, though. You don't have to be certified by the American Board of Orthodontics to practice — in fact, only about 1% of orthodontists are. However, getting certified can set you apart from other orthodontists in your area because it shows that you have passed yet another bar of excellence.  You will have to take and pass an exam of 240 written questions, as well as a clinical exam. Certification expires every ten years. You must take and pass a renewal exam every decade to prove you are still able to practice at a high standard.
Summary:
Research licensing requirements in your area. Apply for your dental and/or orthodontic license. Take and pass your licensing exam. Consider getting board-certified.
