Orthodontic specialists are experts in straightening teeth. We are experts in faces and profiles. We are experts in your bite and how your jaw works. It's what we've been trained to do. It's what we do. It's all we do.
Upon graduation from dental school, orthodontists complete two to three additional years of residency training at an accredited school or health or science center. Semester-long courses include head and neck anatomy, biomechanics, occlusion, and dentofacial growth and development, just to name a few. In addition to coursework, orthodontic residents care for hundreds of patients in a clinical setting under the supervision and mentorship of full-time orthodontic faculty and instructors.
When you select an orthodontic specialist to care for you or your child, you have chosen someone who strives for excellence, competence and the highest level of orthodontic care in our profession.
