Only about 6 % of US dentists have the additional education required to be licensed and recognized as an orthodontic specialist. A licensed orthodontic specialist is a dental specialist who dedicates his/her life to correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Orthodontists graduate as dentists from dental school and then attend a university based orthodontic residency for a minimum of 2 additional years beyond a general dentist’s training. Orthodontic insurance benefits are only paid once per lifetime so choose the best, a licensed orthodontic specialist. Choosing a dentist who is not an orthodontic specialist can be a costly mistake.

Some orthodontists give you their treatment recommendation without taking the diagnostic tests (x-rays/radiographs, photo images and impressions of the teeth) that are necessary to plan/diagnose treatment. There is no substitute for having all the information that these diagnostic tests can provide and meeting the proper standard of care in our area. This is one area where taking shortcuts (skipping diagnostic tests) can lead to improper diagnosis and treatment.braces fitted
