This is a great question to ask if you are receiving consultation and are not sure of the level of training the dentist that would be completing the orthodontic treatment has received. You should then ask yourself if you are comfortable having someone less qualified than an orthodontic specialist complete the treatment before you begin. At the end of the day, orthodontic treatment is a very unique and personal experience – for both you and your child. Only you can truly know what the best path is for your situation, but we hope that these questions and answers may help you navigate the process. With Smile Doctors, consultations are absolutely FREE, and we are more than happy to be your first, second, or even third opinion to help you understand all your options and figure out how you or your child can best benefit from orthodontic treatment.
