Orthodontists are dental specialists uniquely qualified in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of orthodontic problems. They dedicate their professional lives to creating healthy, beautiful smiles in children, teens and adults. Well-aligned teeth are more than attractive: they make it possible to bite, chew and speak effectively. Orthodontic care is often part of a comprehensive oral health plan.
Today, it is not uncommon for general dentists to offer orthodontic care to their patients such as as Six Month Smiles® and Invisalign®. Educated consumers are now wondering, “Should I see an Orthodontist or a General Dentist for my orthodontic care?” Orthodontists complete the same dental school training as your general dentist, but have likely completed an additional 36 months of training in their specialty. Your family or general dentist is excellent for monitoring your overall oral health. He or she is great for routine procedures such as cleanings, fillings, crowns and bridges. Orthodontists specialize in ensuring harmony between your teeth, jaws and face. However, orthodontists are not limited to only moving teeth!
