Why visit an Orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a specialist in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. They have advanced training in orthodontics and spend 100% of their time helping patients achieve healthier smiles and better self-esteem by identifying, preventing and treating bad bites (malocclusions).
Make the Right Choice and Choose an Orthodontist!
All orthodontists are dentists first. Out of 100 dental school graduates, only six go on to become orthodontists.
