What is an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists are specialists in moving teeth and aligning jaws
All Orthodontists are dentists first. Out of 100 dental school graduates, only six go on to become Orthodontists.
It can take 10 or more years of education after high school to become an Orthodontist. Orthodontists limit their scope of work to Orthodontics only.
Orthodontists use a variety of "appliances" including braces, clear aligner trays and retainers, to move teeth or hold them in their new positions.
Orthodontists dedicate their lives to creating healthy, beautiful smiles in children, teens and adults.
