Why Choose a Board Certified Orthodontist
When it comes to your smile, expertise matters. At Orthodontic Harmony in Briarcliff Manor, NY, we believe every patient deserves the highest standard of care. That’s why we’re proud to be led by Dr. Tracy Li Cheung—a board-certified orthodontist.
Choosing a board-certified orthodontist means you’re choosing a provider who has gone above and beyond the basic requirements of the profession. It’s a commitment to excellence, precision, and patient-centered care.
What Is a Board-Certified Orthodontist?
By ages 11 to 15, most permanent teeth have emerged, making it easier to spot and correct orthodontic problems.
Board certification is a voluntary credential awarded by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO)– the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association. To earn this certification, an orthodontist must complete a rigorous process that includes:
- Clinical case reviews
- Written examinations
- Peer evaluations
- Ongoing education and recertification
Fewer than half of all orthodontists in the U.S. achieve this distinction.
Why It Matters for You
Board certification isn’t just a title—it’s a promise. Successful completion of the examination process demonstrates the orthodontist’s personal commitment to excellence in orthodontics – to both the orthodontic profession and the general public. It exemplifies a practitioner’s commitment to continue to keep abreast of the latest advances in patient care, and to continue to deliver these latest advances to patients. It reflects a high level of clinical skill, ethical standards, and ongoing professional development. When you choose a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Cheung, you benefit from:
- Advanced Diagnostic Expertise: Accurate evaluations and comprehensive treatment planning
