Teeth and sometimes faces are changed permanently by orthodontic treatment. It is very important, therefore, that the therapy be completed by a skilled-professional with the proper training in the diagnosis and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontic specialists limit their practices to orthodontics and dento-facial orthopedics.
By completing two-to-three year advanced education programs following dental school, they become experts in the growth and development of facial structures and acquire professional skills in design, application and control of corrective devices. Thus, they are able to bring the teeth, lips and jaws into proper alignment and achieve oral health and facial balance.
An orthodontist, in short, has a unique combination of skills, a steadfast commitment to long-term goals and a desire for excellence.
