The Value of Choosing a Board-Certified Orthodontist

Orthodontics is more than just straightening teeth.

Orthodontists understand the complexity of growth development and facial form.  Treatment plans include issues related to the jaw and bite, not just movement of teeth.  There’s a reason orthodontists go to additional years of highly competitive orthodontic school – to learn and perfect their ability in the specialty.  A general dentist is ideal for providing regular oral health checkups, comparable to your family doctor.  Many dentists offer orthodontic treatment plans but have not been trained or educated in the area.

A board-certified orthodontist is committed to the highest level of patient care including a comprehensive treatment approach to ensure quality work.  And board certified orthodontists must renew their certification every 10 years to demonstrate their continuous commitment to excellence.
