Why Choose An Orthodontist For Invisalign Treatment?
On your last visit to the dentist, you may have noticed that they also offer clear aligner treatment. However, it is highly recommended that you visit an orthodontist for Invisalign treatment rather than a dentist. Orthodontists and dentists both attend the same levels of schooling for dental care; however, those on an orthodontic track attend a few additional years of schooling and training to specialize in orthodontics. This teaches them how to diagnose and treat a range of orthodontic conditions such as misalignments, bite issues, cleft palates, and so on. So, while all orthodontists may be dentists, not all dentists are orthodontists. An orthodontist is specially trained to provide Invisalign, along with other treatment options. This means they are able to treat a range of issues, from minor to severe, that dentists may not be able to. They are also well-versed in the best methods and techniques for diagnosing and treating patients. They also tend to have more advanced technology and tools available to them that will make treatment more effective and accurate.
