USP Earns EduRank’s Top Spot for Dentistry

EduRank’s 2026 ranking of dental schools places the University of São Paulo (USP) first in the world for dentistry. An official USP dental-school announcement also highlights the university’s No. 1 positions for dentistry and orthodontics in EduRank’s 2026 results.

The recognition reflects the strength of USP’s dental research and the work of its faculty, students, and staff. For Super Braces, it is also a proud connection to Dr. Marinho Del Santo’s professional story.

Where Dr. Del Santo’s Journey Began

Dr. Del Santo earned his DDS degree from the University of São Paulo in Brazil. He later continued his education at Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas, earning a Master of Science in Orthodontics and a PhD in Craniofacial Growth and Development.

That academic foundation is part of the experience he brings to Super Braces today. Dr. Del Santo is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, has more than 30 years of orthodontic experience, and has treated more than 10,000 patients.

What World-Class Training Means at Super Braces

A university ranking is worth celebrating, but families ultimately experience Dr. Del Santo’s background through the care they receive. At Super Braces, his education and experience support:

• Careful evaluation of each patient’s teeth, bite, and jaw development
• Personalized treatment plans for children, teens, and adults
• A focus on confidence, comfort, and clear communication
• Specialized orthodontic care delivered close to home

Proud Roots, Wisconsin Care

From São Paulo to Wisconsin, Dr. Del Santo has built his career around helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. EduRank’s recognition of USP offers a timely reason to celebrate the world-class education at the beginning of that journey—and the expertise now serving families at Super Braces.
