There are 4 popular ways to find an orthodontist. The most popular is still to ask your general dentist for a recommendation. The general dentist gets feedback from earlier referrals and has an idea of how happy patients have been with an orthodontist, and sees the quality of treatment when the patients return for dental checkups, and is in a position to judge that quality.
The second most popular way to find an orthodontist is to do an Internet search for “orthodontist” in your town or zipcode, and to look on Page One for directory listings that have lots of favorable reviews of an orthodontist.
The third most frequently used method for finding an orthodontist is to ask your nearby personal contacts (friends, neighbors, workmates, relatives) who they have used and how happy are they with that choice.
A fourth way to find an orthodontist is to ask you dental PPO insurance company for a list of providers in your area, and then to compare that list to the reviews findable on the Internet in option 2.
