Qualifications of a Specialist Orthodontist

Unlike general dentists, Specialist Orthodontists complete extra years of training to master the science and art of aligning teeth, improving bite function and enhancing overall oral health. Every orthodontist must begin with dental school before completing their orthodontic residency.

Orthodontists treat a wide range of dental issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites. They use devices such as braces, clear aligners and retainers to gently guide teeth into their ideal positions over time.
