What is an Orthodontist?


Orthodontists are qualified dentists who further their education after dental school and go on to an accredited orthodontic residency programs. This training lasts at least two additional academic years and sometimes more. An orthodontist specializes in tooth movement (orthodontics) and guidance of facial development (dentofacial orthopedics) and is a uniquely trained expert in dentistry to straighten teeth and align jaws. In a partnership with your dentist, an orthodontist will help to provide optimal oral health.

Orthodontists are devoted to building beautiful smiles for not only children, but adults too! It’s never too late to get the smile you have always wanted. Great looking smiles contribute to a strong self-esteem, build self-confidence and strengthen self-image. These are important qualities at every age! Orthodontic treatment and the achievement of a beautiful smile can benefit social and career success as well as improve a person’s general attitude towards life.

So with something this important, wouldn’t you want a true specialist? Much like trusting your heart with a cardiologist, an orthodontist is a specialist in the field of dentistry.
